Supremums and Infimums (Introduction to Real Analysis I)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concepts of supremums and infimums in the context of Real Analysis I. A document containing mathematical symbols relevant to these concepts is shared, specifically addressing the correct notation and understanding of supremums. The participants emphasize the importance of defining supremums without unnecessary references to variable conditions, advocating for clarity in mathematical communication. The correct notation for supremums is highlighted as \sup \mathcal{C} = 1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Real Analysis concepts

This is the only way I knew how to get all the math symbols in one document. I hope the link works.

I've done all my work there on the document.

Any help, corrections, tips, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Most look good - think about whether [tex]0 \in \mathbb{N}[/tex].

As a comment: for some of the sequences you have comments like this: ''the sup is [tex]1[/tex] when [tex]n[/tex] is odd''

That isn't the correct way to think about it. The range of the sequence is a set of numbers, and you are looking for the supremum of that set. If that is indeed [tex]1[/tex], you don't need to make any reference to the value of [tex]n[/tex] - simply say [tex]\sup \mathcal{C} = 1[/tex]
 
thanks!
