In mathematics, a sequence <math> a_n</math> is generally said to converge to <math>x</math> if roughly speaking as <math> n </math> goes to infinity <math> a_n</math> gets closer and closer to <math>x</math> and stays there. Rigoroulsy, <math> a_n</math> is said to converge to <math>x</math> if for all <math>\epsilon>0</math> there exists </math> N</math> such that for all <math>n > N </math> we have <math>|a_n -x| < \epsilon </math>.

Similar defintions can be made for convergence of functions.
