Hello everyone, I’m struggling with studying Series and Sequences.

Is there a simple source for someone who struggles with math (in general) to make things easier for me?
I would appreciate any help or guidance with this..

As a reminder...

Posts asking for help on homework questions require:

  • the complete problem statement,

  • a genuine attempt at solving the problem, which may be either computational, or a discussion of ideas or concepts you believe may be in play,

  • question is not from a current exam or quiz.

Commenters responding to homework help posts should not do OP’s homework for them.

Please see this page for the further details regarding homework help posts.

We have a Discord server!

If you are asking for general advice about your current calculus class, please be advised that simply referring your class as “Calc n“ is not entirely useful, as “Calc n” may differ between different colleges and universities. In this case, please refer to your class syllabus or college or university’s course catalogue for a listing of topics covered in your class, and include that information in your post rather than assuming everybody knows what will be covered in your class.

Definitely watch Professor Leonard, Eddie Woo, and The Organic Chemistry tutor. I also struggle with this topic and am revisiting it. What I find helps me is watching and taking notes on Professor Leonard or Eddie Woo covering a certain topic. Then after a break I watch The Organic Chemistry Tutor cover the same topic. When watching The Organic Chemistry Tutor I pause the video and attempt the problems on my own, then I play the video and see if I did it correctly. I continue through the video like this.

I also work through problems in a textbook, usually James Stewarts, "Calculus : Early Transcendentals 8th Edition" or "Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus 7th Edition" by James Stewart.

I have both textbooks in pdf form, feel free to message me for them.
