The Limit of a Convergent Sequence

The limit of a convergent sequence of real numbers is the unique real number to which it converges.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (an)(a_{n}) be a convergent sequence in R\mathbb{R}.

The limit of (an)(a_{n}), written lim⁡n→∞an\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n}, is the real number to which (an)(a_{n}) converges; it is unique by Limits of Sequences of Real Numbers: Uniqueness, Boundedness, Constants, Tails, Arithmetic, Quotients, Absolute Values, Finite Sums, Order, Squeezing, Domination and Subsequences §unique.
