A sequence of real numbers converges if and only if it is a cauchy sequence. Informally, for a sequence in r, the limit superior, or limsup, of a sequence is the largest subsequential limit. Nonetheless we prove most of the continuity theorems we state, while the definition 3. By the triangle inequality we have by the scalar product rule for limits. In this study, we will take a look at the history of the central limit theorem, from its first simple forms through its evolution into its current format. Theorem 416 suppose that fx gx hx in a deleted neighborhood of aand lim x. We say lim x fx l if we can make fx as close to l as we want by taking x large enough and positive.

The limit here we will take a conceptual look at limits and try to get a grasp on just what they are and what they can tell us.
Section 3 derives results needed in the proofs of the limit theorems. In probability theory, the central limit theorem clt establishes that, in some situations, when independent random variables are added, their properly normalized sum tends toward a normal distribution informally a bell curve even if the original variables themselves are not normally distributed.
