Alternating Series | Estimating the Remainder

One of the nice features about Alternating Series is that it is relatively easy to estimate the size of the remainder. Indeed, the nth Remainder is simply less than the n+1 term! So not only are Alternating Series straight foward to decide whether they converge or not, but the estimate is also straight forward.

Do you know where I can find more complicated examples with steps?

Just an FYI, I think this is out of order in the playlist, where it currently precedes the video over AST.
