Sequences
through
nature
A sequence can be
defined as a function
from a set of Natural
Numbers to Real
Numbers
f: ℕ → ℝ
No particular formula required

DEFINING
LIMIT OF A SEQUENCE
LIMIT OF A SEQUENCE
ε= arbitrary fixed small positive value [in this
context]
N= Point in the sequence
For all n> N, every value after the point is within a
distance ε from its limit L
the smaller the ε is, the closer it is to 0, and the
greater the value of n
N is a positive integer. It isn’t a point in the
sequence; it does not have a corresponding n th
term in the series.
Bounded Sequences
A sequence { an} is bounded if and only if there
exists and l, u ∈ R so that
l ≤ an ≤ u for all n ∈ N
where l = Lower boundary
U= Upper Boundary
an = sequence
(a2 , a4 , a6 , ... ) is a subsequence of (a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 , ... ). So is (a1 , a10 , a100 , a1000 , ... ).
Because all the terms of a subsequence are also terms of the original sequence, the
properties of the subsequence are closely tied to the properties of the sequence, and so a
great deal of information about one can be determined by studying the other. Sequences
are objects of central importance in analysis, but they can be difficult to work with, and
their simpler subsequences provide a useful tool for understanding them.
SUBSEQUENCE BOUNDARY
Monotonic

Theorem (MST)
the monotone convergence theorem states that every series of real numbers has a monotonic
subsequence.
