Radius of Convergence
 |
|
The radius of convergence of a power series is half the width of the interval inside which it converges absolutely.
Radius of convergence is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a Calculus II course. It is an Advanced Placement Calculus BC topic and is listed in the California State Standards for Calculus.
