"All The Mathematical Methods I Learned In My University Math Degree Became Obsolete In My Lifetime" - Keith Devlin

Supremem and Infimum of Finite Sets We demonstrate that each finite set has, and contains, a sup and inf. Can you spot the induction?  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ga339zmvbe)





Algebra of sup and inf Consider the set A={1/2, 2/3, 3/4,...}. We know inf(A)=1/2, sup(A)=1. How does adding or multiplying A by k change these bounds?  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/wgmxgeg2ku)





Triangle Inequality Hit the shuffle button a few times. When is |A+B|=|A|+|B|? When is it less? Greater?  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/d9xmciofp0)





Bounded functions How do the bounds of f and g compare to the bounds of f+g?  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/gswiultpsd)





Convergent sequence Does this sequence appear to be getting closer to some value? Hit shuffle to get a new sequence, click bounds to see the bounds of the sequence.  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hfmkpnsdsj)





Bolzano–Weierstrass Can we see the monotonic convergent subsequences? Hit shuffle for a new sequence.  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bfrha7jpvo)





Sequence Continuity My favourite definition of condtiunity: f is continuous if and only if it preserves the limits of sequences!  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hcrumhavwu)





Sequence disContinuity Discontinuous function do not preserve the limits of sequences.  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/azib9eptvv)





Epsilon-Delta Continuity For each epsilon E, can we find a delta D so that f((a-D, a+d)) is contained in (f(a)-E, f(a)+E)?  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bzgwtaws41)





Epsilon-Delta dis-Continuity Find an epsilon E, so that for any delta D, f((a-D, a+d)) is never contained in (f(a)-E, f(a)+E) at the point of discontinuity.  (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/8l0wod4hbi)
