Let B={s|s is a function mapping the set of natural numbers to {0,1}}. Is B a countable set-that is, is it possible to find a function \Phi() mapping the set of natural numbers onto B-?
I know that it has to do with infinite binary sequences, but the countability part confuses me. Can...
A more fundamental question I have, I guess, is if I know that \sum^{\infty}_{\nu=0} (^{n}_{\nu}) a^{\nu} b^{n-\nu} = (a+b)^{n} then do I know that
\sum^{n}_{\nu=0} (^{n}_{n-\nu}) a^{\nu} b^{n-\nu} = (a+b)^{n}? How does the changing of infinity to n and the \nu to n - \nu impact the series?
I'm taking an introductory class on analysis right now and I'm trying to get through the book that we are reading. I'm having difficulty understanding a park of it and was hoping someone could help me out. The part I'm reading about now is on null sequences:
Here's an excerpt. I'm having...
