Real Analysis – Consultation

Posted: April 19, 2013 in General

Do note that I would be overseas from 26 Apr (Fri). Hence, I would not be available for consultation nor be able to answer an queries (including emails).

Good Luck for the Examinations!

For students taking MH3100/MTH311, I sincerely like to seek your feedback on the the conduct of the tutorials.

Please access this link to provide your feedback. Feel free to make ANY comments and your feedback will be taken seriously and taken into consideration (if I ever get to teach again).

Note that the link is only available until 21 Apr (Sun).

As mentioned by Prof Chan and Prof Zhao, the definitions of limits can be interpreted as a `challenge-and-respond’ process and Prof Zhao further elaborated {\epsilon} as a `standard of proximity’. In the tutorial, I gave another (similar) interpretation of the definition.

In general, `most’ theorems and definitions in mathematics can be interpreted as a `machine’ that produces some output given every input of certain type. For example, the definition of functional limits can be interpreted as the following machine.

Tut9machine

Here, the input is a positive {\epsilon} and the output (highlighted in blue) is a {\delta}. We notice the output has to fulfill certain conditions that are dependent on the input. This is highlighted in yellow.

In other words, the machine is a `{\lim_{x\rightarrow c} f(x)=L}‘ machine if given input {\epsilon>0}, the machine outputs a {\delta>0} such that {|f(x)-L|<\epsilon} whenever {0< |x-c|<\delta}.

(Please take note that \lim_{n\to\infty} f'_n need not equal (\lim_{n\to\infty} f_n)' even if f_n converges uniformly.
However, \lim_{n\to\infty} f'_n=(\lim_{n\to\infty} f_n)' if f'_n converges uniformly.)
