proof of Weierstrass M-test


Consider the sequence of partial sums sn=∑m=1nfm. Take any p,q∈ℕ such that p≤q,then, for every x∈X, we have

|sq⁢(x)-sp⁢(x)| = |∑m=p+1qfm⁢(x)|
≤ ∑m=p+1q|fm⁢(x)|
≤ ∑m=p+1qMm

But since ∑n=1∞Mn converges, for any ϵ>0 we can find an N∈ℕ such that, for any p,q>N and x∈X, we have |sq⁢(x)-sp⁢(x)|≤∑m=p+1qMm<ϵ. Hence the sequence sn converges uniformly to ∑n=1∞fn.
