... Remember negative numbers are to the left of zero, and positive numbers are to the right of zero. As you move to the left on a number line the value of the numbers decrease. As you move to the right on a number line the value of the numbers increase. ...

... (b) The numbers An and Bn satisfy the Fibonacci-like rule: An = an An−1 + An−2 and Bn = an Bn−1 + Bn−2 for n ≥ 2 Proof. (a) is from the definition, and (b) follows from Corollary 2. Example. Taking the sequence 3, 7, 15, 1 again, we have: A0 = 3, A1 = 22, A2 = 15 · 22 + 3 = 333, A3 = 1 · 333 + 22 = ...

... But there is no rational number equal to PI. In fact, the reals are set up precisely to make completeness work. One way to construct the reals is to construct all convergent sequences of rationals and add new points to represent the limits of these sequences. (Most of the machinery of calculus depen ...
