Theorem 0.5.3 (The real numbers are complete). Every nonempty subset \( X \subset \mathbb{R} \) that has an upper bound has a least upper bound \( \sup X \) . Every nonempty subset \( X \subset \mathbb{R} \) that has a lower bound has a greatest lower bound \( \inf X \) .
Proof. We will construct successive decimals of \( \sup X \) . Suppose that \( x \in X \) is an element (which we know exists, since \( X \neq \phi \) ) and that \( a \) is an upper bound. We will assume that \( x > 0 \) (the case \( x \leq 0 \) is slightly different). If \( x = a \), we are done: the least upper bound...

If \( \left| r\right| < 1 \), then \[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }a{r}^{n} = \frac{a}{1 - r} \]

Theorem 0.5.7. A nondecreasing sequence \( n \mapsto {a}_{n} \) of real numbers converges if and only if it is bounded.
Proof. If a sequence \( n \mapsto {a}_{n} \) of real numbers converges, it is clearly bounded. If it is bounded, then (by Theorem 0.5.3) it has a least upper bound \( A \) . We claim that \( A \) is the limit. This means that for any \( \epsilon > 0 \) , there exists \( N \) such that if \( n > N \), then \( \left| {{a...

Theorem 0.5.8 (Absolute convergence implies convergence). If the series of absolute values \[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }\left| {a}_{n}\right| \;\text{ converges, then so does the series }\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}. \]
Proof. The series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }\left( {{a}_{n} + \left| {a}_{n}\right| }\right) \) is a series of nonnegative numbers, so the partial sums \( {b}_{m} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{m}\left( {{a}_{n} + \left| {a}_{n}\right| }\right) \) are nondecreasing. They are also bounded: \[ {b}_{...

Proof. Let \( X \) be the set of \( x \in \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) such that \( f\left( x\right) \leq c \) . Note that \( X \) is nonempty ( \( a \) is in it) and it has an upper bound, namely \( b \), so that it has a least upper bound, which we call \( {x}_{0} \) .

All that needs to be checked is that 1. \( {\left( {r}^{1/n}\right) }^{n} = r \), which is true by definition; 2. \[ \cos n\frac{\theta + {2k\pi }}{n} = \cos \theta \;\text{ and }\;\sin n\frac{\theta + {2k\pi }}{n} = \sin \theta \] which is true since \( n\frac{\theta + {2k\pi }}{n} = \theta + {2k\pi } \), and s...

Proof. Figure 1.2.5 shows that the \( \left( {i, j}\right) \) th entry of both \( A\left( {BC}\right) \) and \( \left( {AB}\right) C \) depend only on the \( i \) th row of \( A \) and the \( j \) th column of \( C \) (but on all the entries of \( B \) ).

How many walks of length \( n \) are there that go from a vertex to itself, or, more generally, from a given vertex to a different vertex?
As we will see in Proposition 1.2.23, we answer that question by raising to the \( n \) th power the adjacency matrix of the graph.
