Sequences and Convergence Let x1 ‚ x2 ‚ ...‚ xn ‚ ... denote an infinite sequence of elements of a metric space (S‚ d). We use {xn }∞ n=1 (or simply {xn }) to denote such a sequence. Definition 1 Consider x0 ∈ S. We say that the sequence {xn } converges to x0 when n tends to infinity iff: For all > 0‚ there exists N ∈ N such that for all n > N ‚ d(xn ‚ x0 ) < We denote this convergence by lim xn = x0 or simply xn −→ x0 . n→∞ Example 2 Consider the sequence {xn } in R‚ defined by xn = n1 . Then xn

Abi Asmerom Triple Constraint What is the Triple Constraint? The triple constraint of project management is the balance of the project’s scope‚ time and cost. Triple constraint is used to determine whether or not a project’s objectives are being met.

Pythagorean Triples Tammie Strohl MAT 126 David Gualco November 9‚ 2009 Pythagorean Triples Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the areas of the two squares formed along the two small sides of a right angled triangle equals the area of the square formed along the longest.  If a‚ b‚ and c are positive integers‚ they are together called Pythagorean Triples. The smallest such Pythagorean Triple is 3‚ 4 and 5. It can be seen that 32 + 42 = 52 (9+16=25). Here are some examples:

Pythagorean Triples To begin you must understand the Pythagoras theorem is an equation of a2 + b2 = c2. This simply means that the sum of the areas of the two squares formed along the two small sides of a right angled triangle equals the area of the square formed along the longest. Let a‚ b‚ and c be the three sides of a right angled triangle. To define‚ a right angled triangle is a triangle in which any one of the angles is equal to 90 degrees. The longest side of the right angled triangle

In “The Convergence of the Twain” the author uses many poetic touches such as anthropomorphism‚ antithesis‚ metaphors‚ irony‚ and tragedy to explain the speaker’s attitude towards the sinking of the ship. The speaker/author right away takes time to personify the ship in the title; ‘The Convergence of the Twain’ means the coming together of the two‚ as in marriage. This shows a connection to the ship rather than writing ‘the ship sunk.’ The author/speaker also takes the time to foreshadow the tragedy
