Find the set of cluster points for the set A := {(−1)n/n : n ∈ N}. Justify your answer with
proof.

I believe 0 is a cluster point but I can't figure out how to prove this, or how to prove any other point is not.

Any quick help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, I believe $$\frac{(-1)n}{n}=-1$$.

I guess you mean $A := \{(−1)^n/n : n \in \Bbb{N}\}$. You are correct that $0$ is the only cluster point. To prove it, you will need to use the definition of a cluster point, which is ... ? (Start from there.)
 
I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
