CE Asignment 1 (SS)

This document outlines 6 problems on the convergence of sequences and series for an assignment in Calculus for Engineers. The problems cover determining convergence using various tests like the ratio test, root test, and limit comparison test. They involve series with terms like 1/n, sin(1/n), polynomials, and factorials. The document also includes proofs about the limits of certain series as n approaches infinity.
