A **sequence** of numbers if a function $f$ from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Typically, we say $a_1 = f(1), a_2 = f(2), a_3 = f(3), \dots$ and write the sequence as a list $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots.$ When it's possible to give a rule $f(n)$ for the $n$th term of a sequence, we can write $a_n = f(n)$ and refer to the sequence using just the rule. For example, $a_n = \frac{3n}{n+1} = 3/2, 6/3, 9/4, \dots$

We say that a sequence has a limit $L$ if we can make terms arbitrarily close to $L$ by taking $n$ to be sufficiently large. More precisely, the **limit** of a sequence $a_n$ as $n$ approaches infinity is $L$ ($\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L$) if for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\|a_n -L\| < \epsilon$ whenever $n \geq N$.

:::definition "Converge"
14+
A sequence $\{p_n\}$ in a @metric-space $X$ is said to **converge** if there is a point $p \in X$ with the following property: For every $\epsilon > 0,$ there is an integer $N$ such that $n \geq N$ implies that $d(p_n, p) < \epsilon.$

:::definition "Limit"

If a @sequence $\{p_n\}$ converges to $p,$ we say that $p$ is the **limit** of $\{p_n\},$ denoted as:

$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} p_n = p. $$

The set of all points $p_n$ of a sequence $\{p_n\} (n = 1, 2, 3, \dots)$ is the **@range** of $\{p_n\}.$
