Limits, derivatives and integrals of series work just as you would expect. Since we have the sum and difference rules for limits and derivatives and integrals are just limits, we can use them to take limits, derivatives and integrals of each term of a series.

Series Calculus
As we said above, we can take limits, derivatives and integrals of infinite series just as we have with finite functions. The only difference is that we need to watch our notation.
