Series Shenanigans

Starting from Calculus notions on sequences and series, we merrily prove a number of wonderful results. Unfortunately, some of our results will be false. We hope by the end of the talk to figure out what went wrong and, in turn, learn how some of these mistakes led to exciting and useful mathematics!
