Let ∑n=0∞anzn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n} be a complex power series. Show that there exists R∈[0,∞]R \in[0, \infty] such that ∑n=0∞anzn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n} converges whenever ∣z∣<R|z|<R and diverges whenever ∣z∣>R|z|>R.

Find the value of RR for the power series

∑n=1∞znn\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^{n}}{n}
