[Math] Does the series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\sin(1/k)}{k}$ converge

real-analysissequences-and-series

Does the series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\sin(1/k)}{k}$ converge?

By Taylor expanding, I see that this can be rewritten as

$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{k^{2n}(2n-1)!}$,

but that seems to be making it messier than it needs to be.

Can we use the limit comparison test here?

Any help appreciated!

Hint

$$\lim \frac{\frac{\sin(1/n)}{n}}{\frac{1}{n^2}}=1$$

Use the Limit Comparison Test with $\sum_n \frac{1}{n^2}$.
