Series | The Ratio Test: Theory and 1 Example

The video tutorial introduces the ratio test, a method used in calculus to determine the convergence or divergence of series. It explains when to use the ratio test, particularly when dealing with factorials, and provides a step-by-step guide on how to compute it. An example is given to illustrate the process, showing how to simplify algebraically and evaluate limits. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of the root test, which shares similar conditions with the ratio test.
