Epsilon–Delta Limits

Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.

Problem 1

Given ε>0, choose N so n≥N forces |a_n-L|<ε.

Problem 2

Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.

Problem 3

A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Epsilon–Delta Limits.

Problem 4

The argument must address constructing delta choices from a target epsilon with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.

Problem 5

A strong application explains the mathematical model in calculus, numerical analysis, optimization, approximation, and advanced analysis, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.

Problem 6

Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
