<p>The PR book has only geometric series, alternating series, power series, and taylor series. </p>
<p>What about telescoping series, etc? Are the things in PR the only things I need to know (not just for series, just in general too) if I'm aiming for a 5 on the BC calculus exam?</p>
<p>Those series are the only ones that will get tested. Telescoping series, p-series, etc. are good to know in general and may help you in an FR problem for proving convergence/divergence, but they are not necessary to get a 5 on the BC Exam. Geometric series- you should know how to find an infinite sum for r<1
Alternating series- you should know the remainder theorem for this
Taylor polynomials- you should know the LaGrange form of the remainder theorem</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
