The question is at the end of http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=314 and it is an inseparable part of this post.

By following after the standard definition (as seen in http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=314), what is your answer to this question?

By following after? The standard definitions are the only ones that matter. Any other meaning you might imagine for, say, limit wouldn't be limit any more. It would be something else. You cannot show Mathematics to be broken simply by changing the meaning of things.

∞ does not rigorously define infinity, so since "Infinite geometric series" and "Proof of convergence" use it, they do not define any rigorous proof.
A rigorous proof must be based on infinity as defined by transfinite cardinality for example: aleph0 < aleph1 < aleph2 < ... etc. |

Oh, I see. It is limits you don't understand. Odd that, since that is the very thing you have been trying to attack. Good luck with that. It is usually best to understand what you object to rather than simply object. I take that back. It is not just limits you don't understand for the matter at hand. Infinite sequences escape your grasp, too. Otherwise, you'd know why your statement quoted here is, as they would say on the old Perry Mason TV series, incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial. |

It does not change the fact that a rigorous proof must be based on infinity as defined by transfinite cardinality for example: aleph0 < aleph1 < aleph2 < ... etc.
∞ does not provide the necessary rigorous terms exactly because it does not distinguish between aleph0, aleph1, aleph2, ... etc. |

As I said, your failure to understand limits and sequences allows you to believe your objection has substance. It does not. Why it does not is basic to both concepts.
However, just so you don't get completely hung up on a pro forma objection, one without substance, perhaps you might consider the question of where would the proof break down if your objection did have substance. Put another way, what purpose does the infinity used in the proof serve, since at no point does infinity itself in any of its possible forms ever actually enter into the argument. |

You do know that 0.9999... is equal to 1.0. In fact, there is no such number as 0.00...1.
Check this out: x = 0.999... 10x = 9.999... 10x = 9+0.999... 10x = 9 + x 9x = 9 x = 1 In fact we have a wiki page for you. 0.999...WP It even gives you several examples!!! |

Good thing, then, the proof uses no form of infinity.
Quote:
If you think otherwise, go ahead and identify exactly where "infinity" enters into the prove (as something other than mere notation for 'limit'). |

Dear jsfisher are there finitely or infinitely many elements in sequence (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, ...) that all of them are used in order to construct 0.910+0.0910+0.00910+ ... = 0.999...10 (such that 0.999...10 is not less than the sum over all (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, ...) elements) ?
------------------------- Once again: for all ε > 0, there exists a natural number N in N such that for all n ≥ N, |an - L| < ε. So |an - L| must be = 0 in order to conclude that the sum over an = L. It must be stressed that if infinity is not involved here, then |an - L| > 0 and we can't conclude that the sum over an = L. For example, where is the rigorous proof that the sum over all (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910,...) = L = 1? (My solution is given in http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=316). |

Nowhere does that enter into the proof. Why to you harp on the irrelevant?

In that case it is perfectly acceptable that 0.999...10 < 1 by |an - L| > 0, or in other words

The two are unrelated. My observation is supported by the very definition of limit. Yours is not supported by anything.

The very definition of limit, if it is limited to finite sequences, does not support the assertion that the sum over all terms of sequence (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910) actually = 1.
Moreover, the sum of |N| terms of that sequence < 1 , and we need a gap closer at |R| size in order to actually define 1 as the limit of 0.999...10. 0.999...10 is not identical to 1, and the sequence of partial sums, even if it has |N| terms, does not establish -- rigorously -- that 0.999...10 is identical to 1, simply because without using also|R| size, 0.999...10 < 1 by exactly 0.000...110, where 0.000... is a place value keeper that the number of its places is in bijection with the number of places in 0.999... . The number of places is at most at |N| size, so in order to actually close the gap between 0.999...10 and 1, ...110 that is at |R| size is needed to actually do the job. In other words: 0.999...10 + 0.000...110 = 1. More generally, the sum over an where an has at most |N| terms < L by sum at |R| size. |

Let's clarify it by a given example that can be used without loss of generality:
The sum over (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, 0.00110) = 1 The sum over (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, 0.000910) < 1 Please pay attention that in this finite example the sum = 1 if we are using the smallest value 0.00110 that is at higher level than value 0.000910. In the case of the sum over infinity many values like (0.910, 0.0910, 0.00910, 0.000910, ...) the smallest value > 0 (notated as 0.000...110) is determined as the sum at |R| size (notates here as ...110), which is at higher level than the sum at |N| size (notate here as 0.000..., and 0.000...110 is taken as a unique value exactly as 0.00110 is taken as a unique value. |

According to the example above, one can understand that a sum over sequence with |R| terms (which can't be symbolized since it is uncountable) needs ...1 at |P(R)| size in order to be identical to 1, ... etc. ad infinitum, so number systems (whether they are countable or uncountable) are determined by different levels of resolutions, where the higher resolution is taken as one unique value (notated as ...1) from the point of view of the lower resolution, and it closes the gap between the limit value and the sum of the lower resolution.
On top of all this there is the non-composed highest level that is beyond all resolutions, and it closes the gap to 1 for all resolutions. In other words, the non-composed highest level is independent of any point of view, in order to be used to close the gap between the sum of a given resolution, and 1. So, that is beyond transfinite cardinality is indeed actual infinity, and it is invariant and objective to all levels of collections, that each one of them or all of them together are not invariant and objective as the non-composed level is. ---------------------------- If we use the point of view of Physics on this case, then Newtonian physics is useful even if it is not accurate as GRT, or in other words, by using this analogy, the relative different points of view of different resolutions are still useful in order to close the gap between some sum at smaller transfinite cardinality to some limit value, by using a given sum of bigger transfinite cardinality (which is equivalent here to Newtonian physics). Yet the total solution is provided only by using the non-composed highest level that is beyond all resolutions (which is equivalent here to GRT, in this analogy). ---------------------------- Definitions like "for all ε > 0, there exists a natural number N in N such that for all n ≥ N, |an - L| < ε", simply block the ability to understand the relative view of different levels of cardinality (or the concept of relative levels, in general), and the absolute view of the non-composed level beyond all transfinite cardinalities, and how the relative or the absolute views are used in order to solve the limit problem. |

Let's not. You continue to show complete disregard for and lack of understanding of how things are defined. Despite your objections, the series for an infinite sequence is, by definition the limit of the sequence of partial sums. Determination of that limit does not at any point involve infinity, in any of its possible forms.
If you are unwilling to accept and comply with fundamental mathematical definition, then you are not doing Mathematics. You, doronshadmi, are not doing Mathematics. |

You, jsfisher, put arbitrary restrictions to mathematical development, and use them in a dogmatic way.
If you are unwilling to re-examine fundamental mathematical definitions, then you are not doing Mathematics. This time please reply to http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=345. |

As you have been invited many times in the past, if you want to explore new areas of Mathematics, do so. However, you are not allowed to redefine established terminology and declare prior results wrong as a consequence.

I can re-examine or re-define your so called "established terminology", and this is a perfectly valid way of mathematical development.
The difference between you and me is that since you are now a moderator, you can shut me up because I do not follow after your so called "established terminology". But before you going to shut me up, be aware of the fact that this thread is a part of "Religion and Philosophy" forum, which somehow you became one of it moderators. |

I am very specific in:
http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=347 http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=348 http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=349 where limit is not restricted only to finitism, and relative or absolute observations are used. In all cases (depending on relative or absolute observations) a sum over a given sequence reaches the limit (and not just tends to, as defined by your finite-only observation). |
