    my teacher explained epsilon-delta proofs in a really confusing way, so I thank you so much for doing this series! You are literally a hero!

    Hi, Dr. Peyam. Appreciate and like your lecture! Allow me ask a quick question for you. At 06:14, how do we know 2*|x-x_0|/|x_0|^2 is less than the epsilon?

    • @drpeyam
      @drpeyam  3 роки тому +1

      We set it less than epsilon, since that’s what we want, and this gives us our delta

  • @weiwei92x
    @weiwei92x 2 роки тому

    Hi Dr Peyam, could you explain a bit more why we necessarily need step 2? By the end of step 1, we've already shown the choice of delta will satisfy epislon requirement, right? Or is that because epsilon can be anything, that's why there is a possibility that there exists an epsilon which invalidates our assuption of x-x0 less than x0/2 ?

    • @drpeyam
      @drpeyam  2 роки тому

      No in step 1 we found our guess for delta, it’s in step 2 where we show that our delta actually works

  • @juancamilochavesmuneton4601
    @juancamilochavesmuneton4601 2 роки тому

    Why in the step 2, when you're showing that Delta really works, you use first |xo|/2 as Delta but then use the other Delta. My doubt is: if in the proof I say that |X-Xo|

      @@adityadwivedi4412 This reminds me so much of one of my math professor's commentary on the interpretation of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem as stated in Douglas Hofstadter's Godel Escher Bach Eternal Golden Braid. Even if it's impossible to prove everything in a logically consistent system without there being any contradictions - that means there's always more to discover and so mathematicians will never run out of a job - haha :).

    But I saw another video saying 1/x is not uniformly continuous for x belonging to open interval (0,1)! Your domain includes everything in 0,1 except 0. So why do you show uniform continuity here but yet the other video says it id not continuous ?! Thanks!

    • @desertpointshacks6299
      @desertpointshacks6299 Рік тому

      1/x is continuous but not uniformly continuous on (0,1]. Uniform continuity is a stricter condition which is not always satisfied. Intuitively the reason it fails to be uniformly continuous is that its graph becomes arbitrarily steep as x approaches 0. There is no universal value of delta that will work for all values of x0 for any given epsilon.
