SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on proving that the sequence √a(n) converges to 0, given that a(n) converges to 0. The proof begins by establishing that for any ε > 0, there exists an n0 in the natural numbers such that for all n ≥ n0, √a(n) < ε. Participants emphasize the need to demonstrate that √a(n) can be made less than specific values, such as 1/100 and 1/1000000, as n approaches infinity.
