The video introduces the fundamental concept of determining whether an infinite series will converge or diverge []. To grasp this, it first clarifies the distinction between a sequence and a series. A sequence is presented as a list of numbers, exemplified by $a_n = 2n$, where the terms would be 2, 4, 6, and so on [-]. This foundational understanding is crucial for then evaluating the behavior of a series, which is the sum of the terms of a sequence [-]. The instructor emphasizes that understanding this difference is the prerequisite for exploring convergence and divergence.
