Convergent Sequence in a Metric Space

Defines when a sequence in a metric space converges to a point, and when it is convergent.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let (xm)m∈N(x_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in XX, and let x∈Xx\in X.

(xm)(x_{m}) converges to xx in (X,d)(X,d), written xm→xx_{m}\to x, if for every real number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there is N∈NN\in\mathbb{N} with d(xm,x)<εd(x_{m},x)<\varepsilon for every m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N} with m≥Nm\ge N.

(xm)(x_{m}) is convergent in (X,d)(X,d) if it converges to some point of XX.
