1. If we wish to use comparison for the convergence or divergence of series, we need some collection of series to compare to! What are some good candidates, and why?

2. Examine Example 5, p. 759, carefully to see how comparison is used to bound the error in a partial sum approximation to a series.

3. In example 4, p. 758, how were the terms of the comparison series chosen? Follow the reasoning process.
