The limit of a sequence is one of the oldest concepts in mathematical analysis. It provides a rigorous definition of the idea of a sequence converging towards a point called the limit. Intuitively, suppose we have a sequence of points (i.e. an infinite set of points labelled using the natural numbers) in some sort of mathematical object (for example the real numbers or a vector space) which has a concept of nearness (such as "all points within a given distance of a fixed point"). A point L is the limit of the sequence if for any prescribed nearness, all but a finite number of points in the…mehr

The limit of a sequence is one of the oldest concepts in mathematical analysis. It provides a rigorous definition of the idea of a sequence converging towards a point called the limit. Intuitively, suppose we have a sequence of points (i.e. an infinite set of points labelled using the natural numbers) in some sort of mathematical object (for example the real numbers or a vector space) which has a concept of nearness (such as "all points within a given distance of a fixed point"). A point L is the limit of the sequence if for any prescribed nearness, all but a finite number of points in the sequence are that near to L. This may be visualised as a set of spheres of size decreasing to zero, all with the same centre L, and for any one of these spheres, only a finite number of points in the sequence being outside the sphere.
