For the power series coefficient $c_n=n^2$, the Cauchy-Hadamard theorem givesThus the radius of convergence is $\boxed{R=1}$. The power series converges absolutely for $|z|<1$ and diverges for $|z|>1$. On $|z|=1$ its terms have modulus $n^2$, so they do not tend to zero and the series diverges there as well.
