1830:). When, in our imagination, we compute an infinite sequence, it is possible that the algorithm may take more steps with each term in the sequence. In such a case, the algorithm will take increasing numbers of steps, and increasing time to compute, as the sequence approaches infinity. But since infinity cannot (by definition) be reached, the algorithm is guaranteed to complete in a finite number of steps for each term. Hence, "algorithm" is the correct description of how each number in the sequence is created (even when such creation is impractical). 95: 85: 64: 31: 22: 1867:
to denote a sequence instead of x_n to differentiate the sequence itself from the nth term, as the article currently uses x_n to denote the sequence itself sometimes and x_n to denote the nth term other times, such as in the mathematical definition. The aforementioned article uses (x_n)_n∈N to denote

I heavily modified the structure of this article, splitting it into sections for sequences in the reals, metric spaces and topological spaces. It is not highly polished, but might be a better skeleton to hang things off. I didn't copy across everything from before that could reasonably be included,

Therefore 1 - 0.999... Is the smallest number greater that zero, although its decimal expansion converges to

In response to reader requirements, I have added an intuitive description of what a limit of a sequence is at the start of the article. I have also simplified and re-ordered the formal definition section in a way which better complies with wikipedia guidance on the structure of mathematical articles,

Everyone knows what a limit is after their first semester of calculus. This page IS just for first year calculus students. Or maybe high school students that are curious. Give me a calculus textbook that doesn't cover limits. YOU CAN'T, THERE ISN'T ONE. Nobody who knows what a topological space needs

at a point x is independent of the value of the function at x, if the function is defined at x at all. As for finding the limit of a sequence given in closed-form, one can use some standard limits like those on the talk page below, and some inequalities (for example if one convergent sequence is less
280:
do you take the limit of a sequence? when you do a function you more or less plug it in. but in a sequence what do you do? for instance, if the sequence is (n-1)/n...i can loically look at it and say "well, it will irst be 1/2, then 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6...etc. which increasing but never getting to one.

Maths is a subject that doesn't lend itself well to a "one size fits all" article about a specific subject, as inevitably it is too complex for some and too simple for others. For most articles, Knowledge can be a both a learning resource and a reference resource, but unfortunately, when it comes to

0. In your first example above if you take (n-1)/n and multiply by (1/n)/(1/n), which is the same as mutliply by one so as not to change the expression, you get (1-1/n)/(1). From this form you can use the division and addition properties listed in the article to say that Lim = Lim (1-1/n) / Lim(1)
1852:
The introduction to the Real Numbers section states that a number is the limit of a sequence if the numbers of the sequence get closer to it and not any other number. I believe this is incorrect; consider the sequence {3/2, 5/4, 9/8, 17/16...}. While the limit of this sequence is 1, the numbers are
398:
I might add a couple of these, but first I want to point out that in the last one, your restriction isn't required. Since it's a limit to infinity, nothing that happensless than zero affects that limit. In fact, restriction of that form are never required in limits, (to the best of my knowledge),
308:
0. That property is very key for finding the limit of a sequence when the sequence can be written as polynomials. The article maybe should also include the obvious property that the limit of a sequence that is constant is that constant. i.e. let c be any constant, then the limit as n goes to
1353:
That does not match the usage of the terms "convergent seqence" and "divergent sequence" that I am aware of. All sources I know define "divergent sequence" to mean "a sequence that does not converge". This includes bounded sequences with convergent subsequences that converge to different

maths, it is quite hard to please learners at different levels, as what is obvious to some is too advanced for others. But whatever level you're at, there are loads of resources out there to help you learn - just not necessarily Knowledge, which is for reference as opposed to learning.
1595:
is extremely unhelpful, since it also makes no sense: What does "terms become arbitrarily close together" mean in the context of "n gets very large"  ??? The index n is one index. The word "terms" is plural. So how is someone supposed to interpret the phrase "as n gets very large".
1805:
For example, in the sequence 1,1,1,1,1,..., the limit of this sequence is 1, a constant. But in the corresponding series (infinite limit), the partial sums are 1,2,3,4,5,..., which is actually a definition of infinity, and therefore the series diverges. The limit of the partial sums

If I hadn't had a solid secondary school education, I would not understand a word of this explanation. This is not the place for specialized lingo, this is the 💕 that should help especially those who were not blessed with, or could not afford to build, a strong math background.
482:
The epsilon definition of a limit for me at least didn't come until Analysis in my 2nd or 3rd year of college. Definitions are crucial. And the topological definition is very useful to, perhaps, a student of calculus who knows a regular limit, but not a generalized limit.
435:
It is necessary to have a fully general definition, as this page is not just for first year calculus students. I have added a comment that two of the definitions are the same as the usual one for sequences of real or complex numbers, for those who wouldn't find this obvious.
462:
You realize that essentially what you're saying is that this article is useless because there are other ways to attain the information. How does that logic work? And as for first-year college students and curious highschool students, two problems. First of all, Calculus
311:= / = (1-0)/1 =1. The second example you gave would be very similiar, but first you would have to rewrite the numerator and denominator through expansion, and then multiply the expression by (1/n)/(1/n). If you do this you'll see that it converges to 4/9.-- 1357:
And to define the notion of an "infinite limit" would probably require some extra care, even if we only talk about sequences of real numbers. What about a sequence like 1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, ...? Does this sequence have one or two "infinite limits"? See also
369:
The more I think on it the more I'm unsure if these should be considered properties of limits, but I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of other simple examples being thrown into the article to help people calculate limits of sequences more readily. Namely:

using merely logic can throw u off. for instance (2n+1)/(3n-1) converges to 4/9. why? the bottom is getting bigger faster so shouldnt it go to 0? Im sure my logic is wring but some one sould make it clear in the article and then tell me so i wont be

zero. Therefore, arguably, there is no way to find the exact limiting value of any sequence by analyzing its members, since that technique could give that a sequence limited by 5 could pe limited by 5, 6-0.999..., or 4+0.999..., whose values are

This shows clearly that even if a sequence converges to a value, the corresponding infinite series (sum of the numbers added so far) may easily diverge. And this shows that the two terms "limit of a sequence" and "limit of a series"

If the only references to a subject (in a larger article) are misleading, it's far better to just omit that section. But far better yet is to include a correct and clear explanation of the subject, even if it does not go into great

I understand that limit is very basic concept, but isn't it better to reference an aricle about formal language rather than let unprepared reader get sunk in those lengthy informal "descriptions"? Also, where is Cauchy criterion?

I thought a convergent sequence is a sequence with a finite limit, a divergent sequence is a sequence with an infinite limit, and all the rest are said to have no limit, in which case this article contains a few mistakes.

Here's a shorter explanation: n^2 grows so much faster than n or any constant that you can just ignore those terms. Then the function basically looks like (4n^2)/(9n^2) in the long run, which is clearly = 4/9.
