Limit of a sequence
null sequence; value that the terms of a sequence "tend to" / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the general mathematical concept, see Limit (mathematics).
In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered set of mathematical objects (most notably a list of numbers). In some cases, the sequence tends towards a limit, in which case the limit is denoted using the symbol (as in ),[1] and the sequence is said to be convergent,[2] otherwise it is divergent.[3]
In a convergent sequence, the absolute difference between the value of the current term and the limit, , will decrease towards 0, as the sequence progresses.
