Generation

# Limit of a Sequence **Precise Definition:** A sequence (aₙ) has limit L if for every ε > 0, there exists a natural number N such that |aₙ - L| < ε for all n ≥ N. **Why It Matters:** This definition captures the intuitive notion that sequence terms get arbitrarily close to L and stay close as n increases. It provides the rigorous foundation for calculus and analysis, enabling us to precisely define continuity, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series—without which modern mathematics, physics, and engineering would lack logical grounding.
