Converging Sequence
Definition of Converging Sequence
A converging sequence is a sequence whose terms get closer and closer to a fixed value. They may never reach the fixed value, but they get arbitrarily close to it.
For example, the sequence with terms given by the formula \(2^{-n}\) converges:
- Its terms are \(1,\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8}, \dfrac{1}{16},\dots\).
- The sequence converges to \(0\) as it terms can get as close as you like to \(0\), even though none of them is actually equal to zero.
Description
The aim of this dictionary is to provide definitions to common mathematical terms. Students learn a new math skill every week at school, sometimes just before they start a new skill, if they want to look at what a specific term means, this is where this dictionary will become handy and a go-to guide for a student.
Audience
Year 1 to Year 12 students
Learning Objectives
