First of all, you have to be careful with exactly what you mean by "infinite double series", because rearrangements of conditionally convergent series can diverge. I'll assume that when you talk about
convergence of a double series of the form



$$ sum_{i=1}^infty sum_{j=1}^infty a_{ij}$$
you mean that for each $i$, the series $sum_{j=1}^infty a_{ij}$ converges to a value $b_i$, and the series $sum_{i=1}^infty b_i$ converges.



The methods for proving convergence of such double series are essentially the same as those for a single series, except that it may be more difficult because you might not know $b_i$ in closed form.

    Does it get any easier if you assume absolute convergence?

    @TheoBendit, if you go looking for absolute convergence (e.g. when the terms in the sum are all positive, so that convergence is equivalent to absolute convergence) then you can start rearranging the sum in interesting ways. For example, it might be that $sum_{k = 2}^infty sum_{i = 1}^{k-1} a_{i,k-i}$ is easier to evaluate, because the finite summation has a nice closed form.

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
