Calculus

The integral test for convergence is a method used to test infinite series of nonnegative terms for convergence.

The series

converges if and only if the integral

is finite, where f(x) is a positive monotone decreasing function defined on the interval [1, ∞) and f(n) = a_n for all n.

Integral domainIn abstract algebra, an integral domain is a commutative ring with 0 ≠ 1 in which the product of any two non-zero elements is always non-zero. Integral domains are generalizations of the integers and provide a natural setting for studying divisibility.	IntegralThis article deals with the concept of an integral in mathematical calculus. For other meanings of "integral" see integration. In calculus, the integral of a function is a generalization of area, mass, volume, sum, and total. Unlike the process of differe	Integral closureIn abstract algebra, the concept of integral closure is a generalization of the set of all algebraic integers. It is one of many closures in mathematics.
