Curious you think the word you inserted belongs there. It is further evidence you don't understand the meaning of 'limit' nor 'sequence'. And, no, you didn't provide anything to discredit what I have written. You merely complained about something that did not even appear in the proof.

Nevertheless, you may use your own doron-limit if you wish. You just need to define it. Why has defining things proven so difficult for you?

Please support your argument about me (that I "don't understand the meaning of 'limit' nor 'sequence'" because I'v added the word [that]) in details.

Only if you do that rigorously, then and only then you can start to talk about the validity of your, so called, definition.

Not 'because'. The curious word addition you made was additional evidence. My statement was correct without the addition, and becomes a non-sentence with the addition.

Validity of a definition? I see you are back to trying to disprove meaning. It doesn't work that way. Definitions stand as is, whether you understand them or like them or would prefer something else.

The definition of series makes your statement incorrect. Please stop trying to disprove definitions. They are not subject to that sort of thing.

Your definition of limits is incorrect exactly because infinity is not involved in it.

Its validity it is no more than your fantasy, exactly because no sum of any given sequence is identical to a given limit if infinity (in its relative or absolute forms) is not involved in the definition.

Still, despite your protestations, the definition stands unphased.

Now, it may be its utility you challenge. Challenge away, but the best way to do what would be to define for us your new and improved version of doron-limit. Who knows what great insight your alternate might provide. You need only define doron-limit so we can proceed to the next step.

My statement is consistent with the meaning of 'limit'. Your statement is not.

Your statement is consistent with the current agreement about the meaning of 'limit', which is wrong exactly because infinity is not involved.

As a result 0 < |an - L| is perfectly acceptable and so is 0.999...10 < 1, simply because they are inseparable of each other.

Current? Well, I suppose. These things don't tend to change, though, especially when they are as useful as this one is.

That doesn't make it wrong. It is one of those things that makes it useful, though.

Quote:

Not just acceptable. It is entirely consistent with the definition of 'limit'. (That is not to say it cannot be zero, but that 'limit' allows it to be positive.)

Quote:
...and so is 0.999...10 < 1, simply because they are inseparable of each other.
Repeating a bogus statement makes it no less bogus. You'd need to provide, you know, one of those proof things to show how your conclusion follows.

On the other hand, if you'd prefer something besides 'limit' to explore, all you need do is define that something first.

Usefulness in not fixed, it can be developed beyond its current state, for example the usefulness of the difference between 0.999...10 and 1, if infinity is involved in its relative or absolute forms, exactly as explained in http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=358.

The current definition is one of those things that is restricted only to finitism.

As a result it can't distinguish, for example, between the sum over (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, 0.00110) = 1 and the sum over (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, ...) < 1

The current definition of limit is inconsistent exactly because 0 < |an - L| and, for example, 0.999...10 < 1 are wrongly defined as separable of each other (and as a result 0 < |an - L| AND 0.999...10 = 1).

It is a perfectly clear and valid statement that gets rid of the separability (as described above) that is at the heart of your currently accepted definition, which is wrong because of this separability.

We all anxiously await your definition of 'doron-limit' to facilitate this great development.

I have no idea what you mean. It handles, for example, infinite series quite well.

Quote:

I find it comforting that Mathematics provides the result, 0.999... = 1.

Quote:

In what way is it inconsistent? You have show no contradiction. Moreover, the greater than 0 is not a requirement of the definition of 'limit'.

Quote:
...and, for example, 0.999...10 < 1 are wrongly defined as separable of each other
No where in Mathematics is 0.999... defined to be less than 1.

Quote:
(and as a result 0 < |an - L| AND 0.999...10 = 1).

It is a perfectly clear and valid statement that gets rid of the separability (as described above) that is at the heart of your currently accepted definition, which is wrong because of this separability.
Your disdain for some definitions in Mathematics is irrelevant.

Please show someone else's work that mentions "levels" in the place value method.

Edit:

here's more proof for you that 0.999999... = 1.0

Let x=1.0
1/3 x = .33333333...
1/3x + 1/3x = 2/3x = .6666666...
2/3x + 1/3x = x = .999999999999...

It is not 'doron-limit' but simply 'limit'.

Let X be a placeholder for that is summed.

If |X - L| = 0 then L is called the limit of X.

Some example: determining the limit of (0.910, 0.9910, 0.99910, ...) actually prevents the understanding that the sum over |N| terms in (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, ...) < 1 without 0.000...110 (which is rigorously explained in terms of the relativity between different transfinite cardinals in http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=347).

Why do you think that is important?

It's important because you like to make your own definitions of existing words. In addition, your post does not make it clear. I can say that 1 is on a higher level than 10 because it's closer to 0.

9 is a higher level than 8 because 8 < 9.

Please define doron-limit.

That post uses a definition that gets rid of the failure of the standard definition that according to it 0 < |an - L| AND (0.999...10 = 1 OR 0.333...10 = 1/3).

My post is vary clear because it uses only absolute values of the place value method, such that 0 is the lowest level that does not contribute anything to a given sum.

Please look at http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=348.

Some typographic errors are more amusing than others.

A post that refers to other posts. Typical. Are you denying that 1/3 = .333... ?

Please tell me what is the result of:
____
3)1.0


Show your work.

Edit : Sorry, I don't know how to show the long division sign. I'm trying to figure it out in LaTeX.
Edit2: It seems I can't see LaTeX.

That still does not make any sense. What sum? You still have not defined doron-level. Please try to define it. Don't give examples.

Yeah, Little 10 Toes, it is all your fault for not understanding doronshadmi's gibberish...just like everyone else.

Why not simply tell us what you'd like your own private definition for limit (we'll call it 'doron-limit') to be? Surely at some point in your life-long quest to overturn Mathematics you will be able to define something. Why not this for a start?

So, by the following two posts and the lack of response to my questions, it appears that you don't know how to do long division, and cannot or will not define "doron-level" (meaning they way that you use the word limit). And why do we care about why you think that 0 is the smallest sum? You still believe that 0.00...1 is still a number.
