Convergent Sequences of Real Numbers

A sequence of real numbers converges to L if for every ε > 0 all terms from some index on lie within ε of L; it is convergent if it converges to some real number, and a null sequence if it converges to 0.

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 sequence in R\mathbb{R} and L∈RL\in\mathbb{R}.

(an)(a_{n}) converges to LL, written an→La_{n}\to L, if for every real ε>0\varepsilon>0 there is N∈NN\in\mathbb{N} with ∣an−L∣<ε|a_{n}-L|<\varepsilon for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} with n≥Nn\ge N. It is convergent if it converges to some real number, and a null sequence if it converges to 00.
