Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem and its connections to other mathematical theorems that are related to conditionally convergent series and concept of infinity. It applies a comprehensive review of academic articles about the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem and its relationships with theorems such as Dirichlet’s Theorem and Ohm’s Rearrangement Theorem. Examples of numerical calculation and case studies are also analyzed to illustrate how these theorems influence one another. The results show how important the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem is for comprehending the convergence of conditionally convergent series. It demonstrates how the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem allows the target sum to be attained by rearranging the terms in the series, and how Dirichlet’s Theorem reinforces the absolutely convergent series’ stability under such rearranging. The research demonstrates how Ohm’s Theorem offers useful strategies for rearranging terms to get particular sum values. These connections shed light on the intricate interactions between these theorems, improving our understanding of how series behave when they converge. This research emphasizes the importance of discovering the relationships between the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem and other algebraic theorems related to conditionally convergent series. By highlighting these connections, the dissertation suggests a comprehensive approach on applying these concepts and refers to a greater understanding of how different theorems can enhance our understanding of series and convergence in the field of mathematics.
