An axiomatic definition of the real numbers consists of defining them as the elements of a complete ordered field. [2] [3] [4] This means the following: The real numbers form a set, commonly denoted , containing two distinguished elements denoted 0 and 1, and on which are defined two binary operations and one binary relation; the operations are called addition and multiplication of real ...
The basic open sets of the product topology are cylinder sets.These can be characterized as: If any finite set of natural number coordinates I={i} is selected, and for each i a particular natural number value v i is selected, then the set of all infinite sequences of natural numbers that have value v i at position i is a basic open set.

The long real line pastes together ℵ 1 * + ℵ 1 copies of the real line plus a single point (here ℵ 1 * denotes the reversed ordering of ℵ 1) to create an ordered set that is "locally" identical to the real numbers, but somehow longer; for instance, there is an order-preserving embedding of ℵ 1 in the long real line but not in the real ...
The real numbers can be defined synthetically as an ordered field satisfying some version of the completeness axiom.Different versions of this axiom are all equivalent in the sense that any ordered field that satisfies one form of completeness satisfies all of them, apart from Cauchy completeness and nested intervals theorem, which are strictly weaker in that there are non Archimedean fields ...
As a second example, for sequences in the real numbers, weak positivity (is for all ?) reduces to positivity of the sequence (because the answer must be negated, this is a Turing reduction). The Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem would provide answers to some of these questions, except that its proof is non-constructive .
In mathematics, the Stolz–Cesàro theorem is a criterion for proving the convergence of a sequence.It is named after mathematicians Otto Stolz and Ernesto Cesàro, who stated and proved it for the first time.
Computation of the sum 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14. When the sequence is reversed and added to itself term by term, the resulting sequence has a single repeated value in it, equal to the sum of the first and last numbers (2 + 14 = 16). Thus 16 × 5 = 80 is twice the sum.
