A remark: regardless of whether it is true that an infinite union or intersection of open sets is open, when you have a property that holds for every finite collection of sets (in this case, the union or intersection of any finite collection of open sets is open) the validity of the property for an infinite collection doesn't follow from that. In other words, induction helps you prove a ...
@NeilsonsMilk, ah, it did not even occur to me that this involves a step. See, where I learned mathematics, it is not unusual to first define when a sequence converges to zero (and we have a word for those sequences, Nullfolge), and only then when a sequence converges to an arbitrary number, by considering the difference.
Prove that that $U(n)$, which is the set of all numbers relatively prime to $n$ that are greater than or equal to one or less than or equal to $n-1$ is an Abelian ...
The Integration by Parts formula may be stated as: $$\\int uv' = uv - \\int u'v.$$ I wonder if anyone has a clever mnemonic for the above formula. What I often do is to derive it from the Product R...
Show that (Un) is bounded, convergent and find its limit. To prove that the sequence is bounded i intuitively used the fixed point theorem because at first glance i don't really know the appropriate way to study this sequence as it's neither arithmetic nor geometric or the both.
Prove that the sequence $\ {1, 11, 111, 1111, .\ldots\}$ will contain two numbers whose difference is a multiple of $2017$. I have been computing some of the immediate multiples of $2017$ to see how
