Bounded, monotone sequences.

Показать описание
An introduction to the convergence property of monotonic and bounded sequences. The main idea is known as the "Monotonic convergence thoerem" and has important applications to approximating solutions to equations. Several examples are presented to illustrate the ideas.

Thank you kind sir! I am an external student from another Australian University, I cannot tell you how much visual lectures aid the student. Bravo!

Sir, please develop a lecture series on "Elementary to Advanced Real Analysis" so that people like me can understand horrific Walter Rudin's proofs easily.

All convergent sequences are bounded but not all bounded sequences are convergent.

A different example: (-1)^n.
This just alternates from -1 and 1 thus is bounded (by -1 and 1). However this does not converge.

So we found a bounded sequence which does NOT converge.
I guess the theorem only works one way.
All sequences that converge must also be bounded. But not all sequences that are bounded necessarily converge.

Good luck with your studies and thanks for the feedback.

Hi - your sequence is bounded (above and below) for all n \ge 1, which is the range of n values that we are interested in. Actually, we are really only interested in values of n large and positive.

Thanks you a lot Dr. Exam tomorrow. At least now I can find a way out..

Your are one of the best YT-teachers! And I've seen them all, so a better review than that is hard to get.

A question though. (I was listening to your video while cooking so apologize if I missed something). Why didn't you use the term "supremum" for the least upper bound? 
Did you want to stay clear of any new definitions that could confuse your class?
IMO the definition "supremum" is quite nice to have, mostly because you can in short write something like "sup M" for the supremum of a set M. Or i guess "LUB M" would do just a fine =)
I know the terminology doesn't matter much, but it makes me wonder if this quote from wikipedia is one reason: "the monotone convergence theorem is any of a number of related theorems proving the convergence of monotonic sequences".

Could it be so that you skipped introducing supremum so that you didn't have to go into one of these other theorems wikipedia mentions?

The theorem states that all bounded monotonic sequences converge. Since (-1) ^ n is not monotonic, you cannot use the MCT with it.
