In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to".
Description
If such a limit exists, the sequence is called convergent.
A sequence which does not converge is said to be divergent.
The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of mathematical analysis ultimately rests.
Limits can be defined in any metric or topological space, but are usually first encountered in the real numbers.
