Sometimes the alternating series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }{(-1)}^{n-1}{b}_{n}$ converges to a certain fraction of an absolutely convergent series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }{b}_{n}$ at a faster rate. Given that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{{n}^{2}}=\frac{{\pi }^{2}}{6},$ find $12=1-\frac{1}{{2}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{3}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{4}^{2}}+\cdots .$ Which of the series $6\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{{n}^{2}}$ and $S\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{(-1)}^{n-1}}{{n}^{2}}$ gives a better estimation of ${\pi }^{2}$ using $1000$ terms?

[T] The alternating harmonic series converges because of cancellation among its terms. Its sum is known because the cancellation can be described explicitly. A random harmonic series is one of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{S}_{n}}{n},$ where ${s}_{n}$ is a randomly generated sequence of $\pm 1\text{'s}$ in which the values $\pm 1$ are equally likely to occur. Use a random number generator to produce $1000$ random $\pm 1\text{s}$ and plot the partial sums ${S}_{N}=\sum_{n=1}^{N}\frac{{s}_{n}}{n}$ of your random harmonic sequence for $N=1$ to $1000.$ Compare to a plot of the first $1000$ partial sums of the harmonic series.

[T] The Euler transform rewrites $S=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }{(-1)}^{n}{b}_{n}$ as $S=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }{(-1)}^{n}{2}^{-n-1}\sum_{m=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{c}n \\ m\end{array}\right){b}_{n-m}.$ For the alternating harmonic series, it takes the form $\ln (2)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{(-1)}^{n-1}}{n}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n{2}^{n}}.$ Compute partial sums of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n{2}^{n}}$ until they approximate $\ln (2)$ accurate to within $0.0001.$ How many terms are needed? Compare this answer to the number of terms of the alternating harmonic series are needed to estimate $\ln (2).$

[T] In the text it was stated that a conditionally convergent series can be rearranged to converge to any number. Here is a slightly simpler, but similar, fact. If ${a}_{n}\ge 0$ is such that ${a}_{n}\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$ but $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }{a}_{n}$ diverges, then, given any number $A$ there is a sequence ${s}_{n}$ of $\pm 1\text{'s}$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{s}_{n}\to A.$ Show this for $A>0$ as follows.

a. Recursively define ${s}_{n}$ by ${s}_{n}=1$ if ${S}_{n-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}{a}_{k}{s}_{k}<A$ and ${s}_{n}=-1$ otherwise. b. Explain why eventually ${S}_{n}\ge A,$ and for any $m$ larger than this $n,$ $A-{a}_{m}\le {S}_{m}\le A+{a}_{m}.$ c. Explain why this implies that ${S}_{n}\to A$ as $n\to \infty .$
