Revision difference : Weierstrass' criterion of uniform convergence
Version 5 Version 4
\begin{thmplain} \textbf{Theorem.} \,Let the real functions $f_1(x)$, $f_2(x)$, ... be defined in the interval $[a, b]$. \,If they all \PMlinkescapetext{satisfy} the condition

The theorem is valid also for the series with complex function terms, when one replaces the interval with a subset of $\mathbb{C}$. The theorem is valid also for the series with complex function terms, when one replaces the interval with a subset of $\mathbb{C}$.
