Estimating Sums Using the Integral Test and Comparison Test

The video tutorial explains convergent series and introduces the integral test as a method to determine convergence. It demonstrates the integral test using the series 1/n^2 and explains how to estimate the sum of a series. The tutorial also covers p-series, stating that they converge if the exponent is greater than 1. Additionally, the comparison test is introduced as a technique to determine convergence by comparing series to known convergent or divergent series.

Summarize the key points of the integral test and the comparison test as methods for determining series convergence.
