proof of Weierstrass M-test


Consider the sequence of partial sums sn=m=1nfm. Take any p,q such that pq,then, for every xX, we have

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

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