OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

I'm not completely sure, but I think that it is when the limit of it does not approach a finite number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it is basically Yep ^^

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

on sorry, not really limit but like infinite series

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

"For example, rearranging the terms of 1-1+1-1+1-... gives both (1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+...=0 and 1-(1-1)-(1-1)+...=1." http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DivergentSeries.html

Diverging approaches infinity as Converging approaches 0?

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

not always, but yes that's the idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhm ok.

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

converging is just as it approaches a real number (does not have to be 0) is what I meant
