Analysis

The converse of Theorem 1.2. (every convergent sequence is bounded) is not generally true. For example, observe the sequence $\left((-1)^n\right)_n$. The elements of these sequence consist only of $1$ and $-1$. It is bounded, yet not convergent. So we have a very great example of disproving a theorem by a counterexample. I love such examples because it is not important how big the theorem is, if you can find any counterexample then you can either throw that theorem into thrash bin or you can refine and redefine it. What we will do right now is refining and redefining. To do so, we need definition for monotonicity. ...

Intuition is a dangerous weapon Nearly every mathematician had very sharp and concise, yet sometimes dangerous intuition, which led mathematics into the very flawy statements. The theorems and even axioms in a system should be precise internally. I had talked about that topic in the page Gödel’s Proof. The definition (Definition 1.14) in section Analysis I Part 4 stated after the concept of convergence had been used without proof, relying only on intuition. Hopefully, it did not lead mathematics to flawy theorems, statements and etc. Why do we need such a solid definition of convergence? Well, it is because we need to prove them in general terms. Let us continue with boundedness and then move to the algebraic properties of limit? ...

Back then When I was in college, I used to solve a lot of sequence problems. I really liked the topic. It is something that I cannot depict right now, because I have only a few words in my mind. Whatever I write here cannot express the importance of the sequences in mathematics. Nevertheless, I will try to explain the topic while giving my understanding. While learning sequences it is important to build a bridge between the mathematics we know right know, and the mathematics that we will know in the future. ...

The edges we all know I guess everybody that has a little curious have met with Zeno. It is unclear but generally thought that Zeno paradoxes have been developed to support the Parmenides’ doctrins by Zeno of Elea. Do not worry we will not talk about neither Parmenides nor his absurd motion doctrins. By the way he said that “motion is nothing but an illusion”. However, we will use Dichotomy paradox to address the topics infimum and supremum. Dichotomy paradox basically states that to travel any finite distance, you must complete infinite number of tasks using your finite amount of time, which is a paradox since there’s an infinite number of tasks corresponds to finite time, the journey can never be completed. Here is the process that Zeno followed: first decide a goal. Second go halfway of it and then go half of the remaining distance, and then repeat the process. Having to reach a halfway point goes on infinitely. ...

Build the intervals and stay inside Whenever I talk about mathematics, I directly think of number sets. It is surprisingly hard to build, yet easy to understand. Each of them have a different purpose, there is a very close relation between them. Until we prove the properties and maybe the existence of the number sets we will use $\mathbb{R}, \ \mathbb{N}, \ \mathbb{Z}, \ \mathbb{Q}, \ \mathbb{C}$ without proving the properties, as if we all accept and embrace them. Further, Even I won’t talk about Peano’s axioms. ...

In this blog we use so called LaTeX to represent the mathematical terms. To sustain and maintain the beauty of the mathematics it is SO necessary to use LaTeX. Let’s start with the very well-known definition in mathematics. We will start with definition of a set, some basic properties of sets and operations on sets. Neat start to set theory $ \textbf{Definition 1.1.:} $ A set is a collection of objects called elements ...
