Limits (mathematics) | Sequences and series

Limit of a sequence

In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the symbol (e.g., ). If such a limit exists, the sequence is called convergent. A sequence that does not converge is said to be divergent. The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of mathematical analysis ultimately rests. Limits can be defined in any metric or topological space, but are usually first encountered in the real numbers. (Wikipedia).

Definition of the Limit of a Sequence | Real Analysis

What are convergent sequences, and what is the definition of the limit of a sequence? We introduce the definitions, with examples and a proof in today's video lesson! In the definition of the limit of a sequence, we seek to capture what it means for a sequence to get arbitrarily close, or

Connecting Function Limits and Sequence Limits | Real Analysis

We prove the limit of a function f as x approaches c is L if and only if the sequence of images of a_n converges to L for all sequences a_n in the domain of f where each a_n is not equal to c. Our bidirectional proof will begin with a direct proof, using the epsilon delta definition of the

Proof: Sequence Order Limit Theorem (Inequalities and Limits) | Real Analysis

We prove the order limit theorem for convergent sequences. This proves that convergent sequences and their limits relate to each other and real numbers as we'd expect. For example if a_n converges to a and b_n converges to b, and every a_n is less than or equal to each b_n, then a is less
