Weierstrass M-Test

Let $\sum_{k=1}^\infty u_n(x)$ be a Series of functions all defined for a set $E$ of values of $x$. If there is a Convergent series of constants

\begin{displaymath}
\sum_{n=1}^\infty M_n,
\end{displaymath}

such that

\begin{displaymath}
\vert u_n(x)\vert \leq M_n
\end{displaymath}

for all $x \in E$, then the series exhibits Absolute Convergence for each $x \in E$ as well as Uniform Convergence in $E$.
