Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng | | Spanish term or phrase: supremo e ínfimo | Se trata del programa de estudios de la materia Análisis Matemático I. Cuando enuncia el contenido del programa, dice lo siguiente:
Números reales. Propiedades Basicas. Representacion sobre la recta. Supremo e ínfimo. Axioma del supremo.
Mi duda es con relación al término"supremo e ínfimo". Es correcto si lo traduzco como "highest and lowest"? Axiom of the highest?
Muchas gracias! |

"En matemáticas, dado un subconjunto S de un conjunto parcialmente ordenado (P, <), el supremo de S, si existe, es el mínimo elemento de P que es mayor o igual a cada elemento de S."
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremo
"In mathematics, given a subset S of a partially ordered set T, the supremum (sup) of S, if it exists, is the least element of T that is greater than or equal to each element of S."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremum
"In mathematics, particularly set theory, the infimum (plural infima) of a subset of some set is the greatest element (not necessarily in the subset) that is less than or equal to all elements of the subset."

As a course or module title, "Supremum and Infimum" is certainly found. For example, at Oxford:
"Topic 1: Sets and Sequences
Sets and sequences: open, closed, bounded, compact, and convex sets, supremum and infimum, convergence, continuity."
"Supremum and Infimum questions
Please could some help me with the following questions finding the sup, inf, max and min. Thank you."

"Exam Information for Math 141
"For the exam, make sure that you know
The precise statement of basic definitions (this is not an exhaustive list): supremum, infimum, upper- and lower-bounds, accumulation points, etc.; what it means for a sequence to converge, the limit of a function, etc."
http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~scott/mat141.fall10/Exams/
"Mathematics 225
4) Properties of Continuous Functions (2 weeks)
Supremum and infimum, Bolzano-Weierstrass property, Cauchy sequences, intermediate value theorem, uniform continuity."
