Sir, this is the best lecture of this topic on u tube. Thank u so so much for explaining everything. This was hard to me but u explained it in a very easy way. why so underrated? You are really good, I hope that soon you will have subs in millions🙏🙌
Thanks for watching, Hamad! I really appreciate your kind words! It's a very important topic so I'm very glad you found my explanation clear! The long road to a million awaits us!

These intro to analysis videos are incredibly valuable. You have clarified the ‘setting out’ stage of the proof that my textbook simply failed to describe. How to choose an N? Thanks to your teachings, I can understand analysis and apply its techniques! I had thought that perhaps I had truly arrived at a level of maths which I’d find incomprehensible (at least without some miraculous discovery), but your teachings elucidated the simple technique of how to algebraically decide what N ought to be. So thank you so much! This will certainly be the most valuable lesson in analysis of my life! Such is the nature of this incredible inflection point!
I was really struggling to understand the definition of limit clearly. I looked up everywhere on the internet until I found this video, such nicely explained with that amazing 1/100 example. It's totally clear now! Thank you sir. Hope this reaches to everyone out there.
Now I finally understand what the "n>N" condition means. For the longest time I've been puzzled as to just what this relation requirement was trying to communicate. Should have been apparent years ago, but better late than never. Thank you!
@@toxicfreeze-brawlstars121 not sure if I got it myself but as for how I understand it, n is the index of an element of sequence (an) and N is a number so when you say n>N I think it is saying that every next element of a sequence after number N has to be between the limit and number N(so if I say 1/n and N=100 then every element after a100-after 100th element of a sequence-has to be between limit and 1/100 for every n>N) hopefully I helped but as I said I dont understand it completely however this is the way I currently understand it to be.

2:16 "then, as like in this example, our sequence approaches zero, I can guarantee that..." and for me that is the problem of this type of definition of what a limit is: that just works if you already know in advance what the value of the limit is. Because otherwise, how could you calculate the absolute value of the difference between a number and L when you don't know yet what is the limit of the function as it approaches to...etc. A good definition of a limit L should be developed without having to know in advance the value of L. Otherwise, why the hell you need the definition if you are already sure that a certain number is indeed the limit you are searching for. Another idea that bothers me is that this particular way to prove seems just adapted for the case that we are wanting to know the limit of the sequence when it grows to infinity, but does not seem to be a good way to prove the limit of a sequence when it approaches a certain index n (lets say n=0 or n=1).
It should be unsurprising that to prove a limit converges to L, we need a candidate for L. There are various other ways this might take form, but regardless it is not like we have to KNOW what a limit is for sure before we can attempt this sort of proof, we need only a candidate, a number we think the limit is. With specific sequences, computation and/or intuition can produce a reliable candidate. In other situations of analysis that are less particular, a candidate may be rather abstract, and thus a proof of the convergence is very important. In our proofs of all the sequence limit laws, we don't KNOW the limit of a_n + b_n is a + b, but we suspect it is and so proceed with the proof to settle the matter. All that said, it is no doubt a significant and necessary weakness in this definition that you point out. The fact we must have some idea what the limit could be to use the definition is an obstacle. Later in my analysis playlist are several videos about Cauchy Sequences, in which we develop an equivalent definition of a convergent sequence that does not depend on the limit at all. Regarding the n to infinity point - there is no way, as we have defined sequences, to take a limit anywhere other than infinity. For any sequence a_n, if we consider the "limit as n approaches 4" for example, this doesn't really mean anything. The closest n gets to 4 is a_3 and a_5. In each case, either a_3 = a_4 and/or a_4 = a_5. Or, there is some distance between these terms. This is to say, a_4 either does not get approached by its neighboring terms, or it equals its neighboring terms. In a functional limit this is different because we could take a limit as x approaches 3 since x actually CAN approach 3. x = 2.9, 2.99, 2.999, etc. But for sequences, n is discrete, and can approach nothing other than infinity. Hope that's helpful!
True, but the introduction of a definition like this is not the time for proceeding quickly in an explanation. I am deliberately redundant at times for important definitions.
Thank you for making this clear! Could you maybe tell me how this example would work if we could guess the limit L of the sequence? How would we take out the absolute value, etc?

I know the video is 3 years old but if you see this can you show an example where the definition for convergence of a sequence breaks. Maybe something like this: Prove 1/n limit is 1 when n goes to infinity. We know 1/n approaches 0 as n goes to infinity but would like to see how the proof breaks
Thanks for watching and epsilon is an arbitrary positive number. For any positive epsilon, a convergent sequence will eventually get within epsilon of its limit. Does that help?
Thanks for watching and for the question! In the scratch work we did, we saw that n being greater than 1/epsilon will give us the result we want. However, by convention/definition, we don't take n to be greater than whatever we please, we only have that n is greater than N. I think of N as some point in the sequence, after which we get what we want. So since we want n to be greater than 1/epsilon, and we will have n > N, and we can pick what N is greater than, we need N to be greater than 1/epsilon so that n is as well. Then we're saying as long as we pick N to be greater than 1/epsilon, all terms of the sequence after the Nth term will satisfy our desired inequality. So for all n > N, |1/n - 0| < epsilon. Does that help?
@@WrathofMath thanks for the explanation I really appreciate it. I just had one query. Since n>N, we can also consider N to be *greater than or equal to* 1/epsilon right? Adding that *or equal to* shouldnt affect it as n>N. I would be glad ify help me clear this confusion :)
what is the difference between the N-epsilon definition and the epsilon-delta definition? why we need to use the N-epsilon definition for a sequence and not the epsilon-delta one?
Thanks for watching and good question! The N-epsilon definition is for limits of sequences as n goes to infinity. The epsilon-delta definition is for limits of functions at their accumulation points.
Not 100% sure what you're talking about (timestamp would be helpful) but if you're talking about going from (1/n) < epsilon, then we can invert both sides as long as we change the direction of inequality, thus getting n > (1/epsilon), telling us how big n needs to be for our argument to work.

What could go wrong if I tried to prove that the sequence converges to any other number? What could go wrong if I tried to prove that, for example, (n+1)/n converges to 3 rather than 1?
Thanks for watching and that's a really great question! You should give it a go! Try proving (n+1)/n converges to 3 the same way you normally would. As you work with the expression | (n+1)/n - 3 |, you'll eventually see an expression clearly greater than or equal to 1 for all n, so you'll not be able to make it arbitrarily small. Then, you could say for epsilon = 1 and all n, we see what you just showed about | (n+1)/n - 3 | being at least 1, and so clearly there is no N that will make | (n+1)/n - 3 | less than epsilon for all n > N; proving the sequence does not converge to 3. I may make a video on this, it's a great thing to see when we begin working with the limit of a sequence definition!
Thanks for watching and I have more real analysis lessons in the works. If you have a request for a specific property of infinite series I can try to hurry that one along!
N is a thing that we can choose, it effectively represents how far in the sequence we need to go in order to make the rest of the math work. When we do an epsilon proof, we're proving that no matter how small epsilon is, we CAN go far enough in the sequence so that all terms are within epsilon of the limit. N will generally depend on epsilon, because the smaller epsilon is, the further in the sequence we need to go in order to be sufficiently close to the limit.
Let An represent an arbitrary term from a sequence which converges to L. Epsilon is positive because it is used to describe how the distance between a convergent sequence and its limit gets arbitrarily small. The distance between An and L is |An - L| which is always at least 0 by definition. Thus, it is arbitrarily small positive numbers which the distance between An and L must get less than, since by definition it will always be greater than any negative number. For a convergent sequence, |An - L| will eventually be smaller than any given positive number epsilon. Does that help?

Thanks for watching and epsilon is an arbitrary positive number. For any positive epsilon, a convergent sequence will eventually get within epsilon of its limit. Does that help?
10:39 Why does the big N have to be bigger than 1/epsilon?
Thanks for watching and for the question! In the scratch work we did, we saw that n being greater than 1/epsilon will give us the result we want. However, by convention/definition, we don't take n to be greater than whatever we please, we only have that n is greater than N. I think of N as some point in the sequence, after which we get what we want. So since we want n to be greater than 1/epsilon, and we will have n > N, and we can pick what N is greater than, we need N to be greater than 1/epsilon so that n is as well. Then we're saying as long as we pick N to be greater than 1/epsilon, all terms of the sequence after the Nth term will satisfy our desired inequality. So for all n > N, |1/n - 0| < epsilon. Does that help?
@@WrathofMath Very clear, thanks!
@@WrathofMath thanks for the explanation I really appreciate it. I just had one query. Since n>N, we can also consider N to be *greater than or equal to* 1/epsilon right? Adding that *or equal to* shouldnt affect it as n>N. I would be glad ify help me clear this confusion :)
what is the difference between the N-epsilon definition and the epsilon-delta definition? why we need to use the N-epsilon definition for a sequence and not the epsilon-delta one?
Thanks for watching and good question! The N-epsilon definition is for limits of sequences as n goes to infinity. The epsilon-delta definition is for limits of functions at their accumulation points.
This is my question; Sum the following series “the sum of n where r = 1 ~ r(r-1)
what do you think about n=1+[1/e]
Someone please explain why he changed < sign to n>1/epsilon
Not 100% sure what you're talking about (timestamp would be helpful) but if you're talking about going from (1/n) < epsilon, then we can invert both sides as long as we change the direction of inequality, thus getting n > (1/epsilon), telling us how big n needs to be for our argument to work.
Thank you
So much :)
My pleasure, thanks for watching! Be sure to check out the whole Real Analysis playlist if you haven't, many more new lessons to come! ua-cam.com/play/PLztBpqftvzxWo4HxUYV58ENhxHV32Wxli.html
help a lot man thankx
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thank you
No problem, thanks for watching! Looking forward to making some more real analysis lessons.
Why do we say that the bigger N is greater than 1/epsilon? (N>1/E)? please someone answer, i'm confused..
Me too 😢
What could go wrong if I tried to prove that the sequence converges to any other number? What could go wrong if I tried to prove that, for example, (n+1)/n converges to 3 rather than 1?
Thanks for watching and that's a really great question! You should give it a go! Try proving (n+1)/n converges to 3 the same way you normally would. As you work with the expression | (n+1)/n - 3 |, you'll eventually see an expression clearly greater than or equal to 1 for all n, so you'll not be able to make it arbitrarily small.
Then, you could say for epsilon = 1 and all n, we see what you just showed about | (n+1)/n - 3 | being at least 1, and so clearly there is no N that will make | (n+1)/n - 3 | less than epsilon for all n > N; proving the sequence does not converge to 3. I may make a video on this, it's a great thing to see when we begin working with the limit of a sequence definition!
@@WrathofMath Thanks for the great explanation!
That is Archimedean property right, sir?
Can someone explain to me why he wrote that big n is greater than 1/epsilon
Thanku, and i subscribed 😁😁
My pleasure and thank you for watching and subscribing! Let me know if you ever have any requests!
What is N?
can you make vdios on properties of infinite series of real analysis
Thanks for watching and I have more real analysis lessons in the works. If you have a request for a specific property of infinite series I can try to hurry that one along!
How can we assume that N is bigger than 1/Epsilon ?
N is a thing that we can choose, it effectively represents how far in the sequence we need to go in order to make the rest of the math work. When we do an epsilon proof, we're proving that no matter how small epsilon is, we CAN go far enough in the sequence so that all terms are within epsilon of the limit. N will generally depend on epsilon, because the smaller epsilon is, the further in the sequence we need to go in order to be sufficiently close to the limit.
YOU A G
I can't explain how much u help me
❤❤❤❤
And why is epsilon any positive number close to 0? Why not a negative number?
Let An represent an arbitrary term from a sequence which converges to L. Epsilon is positive because it is used to describe how the distance between a convergent sequence and its limit gets arbitrarily small. The distance between An and L is |An - L| which is always at least 0 by definition. Thus, it is arbitrarily small positive numbers which the distance between An and L must get less than, since by definition it will always be greater than any negative number. For a convergent sequence, |An - L| will eventually be smaller than any given positive number epsilon. Does that help?
@@WrathofMath yes it does. Thank you very much. I understand now. Amazing video btw :)
