Rows and limits Explanation: e.g.: "Decimal and decimal-free error-control perspectives of continuity, limits and Cauchy sequences are given below. These perspectives is followed by comments on math education." "numbers in each line are what are now called figurate numbers. Those in the first line are called numbers of the first order; those in the second line, natural numbers or numbers of the second order; those in the third line, numbers of the third order, and so on. It is easily shown that the mth number in the nth row is (m+n-2)! / (m-1)!(n-1)! " HTH, Serge L. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-11 01:48:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Taking my first example into account, I think it\'s better to say sequences and limits...

progressions and limits Explanation: limit = (math) a fixed quantity or value which a varying quantity is regarded as approaching indefinitely progression = (Math) a sequence of numbers, each of which is obtained from its predecessor by the same rule: see arithmetic progression, geometric progression -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-11 01:36:36 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- after Webster\'s New World Heritage Dictionary |
