Weierstrass M-Test


Let sum_(n=1)^(infty)u_n(x) be a series of functions all defined for a set E of values of x. If there is a convergent series of constants

 sum_(n=1)^inftyM_n,

such that

 |u_n(x)|<=M_n

for all x in E, then the series exhibits absolute convergence for each x in E as well as uniform convergence in E.
