Limits

Overview


Definition


A sequence {% s_1,s_2,... %} has a limit L if, for every positive numbr {% \epsilon %}, there is a positive number N such that
{% |s_n - L| < \epsilon %}
whenever n > N.

Cauchy Sequence


A sequence {% s_1,s_2,... %} in a metric space is Cauchy if, for every positive numbr {% \epsilon %}, there is a positive number N such that
{% |s_n - s_m| < \epsilon %}
whenever n, m > N.
