I don't quite get the significance of the delta limit definition,
if n>N and |sn−s|< ϵ , why does the limit converges
does this simply means that there exist a number ε such that if n is great enough it will be greater than s by ε?
But this doesn't make sense, because s is the value the sequence converges to, so sncannot be greater than s
what confuses me even more is that (-1)n is a diverging sequence but
it satisfies |sn-s| < ε for ε>1
Can someone clarify this concept, thank you
