First, we will define +limits as they pertain to sequences, and then we will define them on [[id:b1f9aa55-5f1e-4865-8118-43e5e5dc7752][functions]]. +For a sequence $\{s_{n}\}$: + +\begin{align*} +\lim s_{n} = s \iff \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N , n > N \implies | s_{n} - s | < \epsilon +\end{align*} + +What this means is that at some point in the sequence, for some choice of epsilon, no matter how small +it is, there has to be an index where every term after that index is closer to $s$ than epsilon. If +some single number $s$ and sequence $\{s_{n}\}$ fulfills this criteria, then it is said that the limit +of the sequence is $s$. Generally speaking, we use the set $\mathbb{R} \cup \{ -\infty, +\infty \}$, where there is a natural +ordering: + +\begin{align*} +\forall a \in \mathbb{R}, - \infty < a < +\infty +\end{align*} +defined. Note that we can define equivalence relations on these symbols, but algebra reamins undefined. +** Limits on Monotone Sequences +An increasing sequence is a sequence $\{s_{n}\}$ defined such that: +\begin{align*} +\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \forall m \in \mathbb{N}, n \ge m \implies s_{n} \ge s_{m}. +\end{align*} +and now we wish to prove that the limit of monotone sequences always exist. + +\begin{align*} +\lim s_{n} = s \iff \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N, n > N \implies | s_{n} - s | < \epsilon \\ +\end{align*} + +#+begin_theorem +If I am bad, then you are too. +#+end_theorem + +#+begin_proof + +#+end_proof |
