    You took S -1 (by doing so you jumped inside the set N , by JUST ONE STEP) , So now when you said , there must be a m in N such that, m>S-1 , (well sure , but the set N is discrete and it's not like real no.s , in other words it's not complete) so how can we say that m>S-1 (there is no natural number between S and S-1 , so how come you find m ? Is it because S is not Natural no. it's actually a Real no (which is not Natural)?

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  3 года назад +3

      I'm not sure if I understand your question, but let me try to clear it up! We assume, for contradiction, that N has an upper bound. Thus, it is a bounded and nonempty subset of the reals, which are complete, and so N must have a supremum. We let sup N = S. Thus, since S is the least upper bound of N by definition, we know that S - 1 is not an upper bound of N, and so N must contain some m > S - 1. Hence, m + 1 > S. But N is closed under addition, and so m + 1 is in N, contradicting S being the supremum, and thus N has no upper bound.
      Like you said, S is not necessarily a natural, but since it is sup N, we immediately have by definition that S - 1 can't be an upper bound of N. By definition of S-1 "not being an upper bound", N must contain an element greater than S-1.
      Does that help?

      @@WrathofMath Hii. I read your explanation but I'm still a tad confused. I understand the method but just thinking about it logically, if sup N = S and m > S-1, then isn't it logical to assume that m = S. If S is a natural number, then there are no more natural numbers in between S and S-1.
      I understand the math behind it but I can't quite grasp the logic behind it. Please clarify if you can :)

    Create a set S belonging to R such that S contains all the elements which don't belong to N. Define m as the least element of N. Then m-1 doesn't belong to N, so it belongs to S. Assume S is inductive, so (m-1) + 1 = m belongs to both S and N (contradiction).

    Great video but I am just confused: Why MUST m exist? If S-1 isn't a supremum, why must we introduce a value m that is greater than S-1? This is really confusing to me

    • @awazin4031
      @awazin4031 Год назад +1

      Your question is 6 months old, but if it helps, here's the answer. The supremum is not in N, it's a real number. So if you take a real number s and subtract one from it, you'll find an integer n that's greater than s-1. I think the confusion comes from thinking that sup(N) is a natural number when it's not.

    Couldn't you just say:
    suppose m is the biggest natural number
    => m+1 is element N because closed under addition and m+1>m, so m can't be the biggest number => there is no biggest number..

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  2 года назад

      Good question. Supposing there is a biggest natural number is a stronger assumption than what we did in the proof. In the proof we only assumed the naturals were bounded by some real number. Thus, we worked with a supremum which wasn't necessarily a natural. Additionally, proving there is no biggest natural number doesn't necessarily prove that given a real x, there is a natural greater than x. For example, there is no biggest member of the set S = { n/(n+1) }, but we cannot find an element of S greater than any given x>=1.

    nx greater than y
    It is not possible for all real numbers
    Suppose we take n=2 and a = 1.5 and b=10.5 then it is not satisfy the archimedian property ..so its a confusing

    • @thesecondderivative8967
      @thesecondderivative8967 7 месяцев назад

      the point is that there will be some n that will satisfy the property not that all n will satisfy the property. So in your example n = 1000 will satisfy the property.

      Thanks for watching, that is just a simple fade in. Any video editor you use should be able to do that. I'm not fading the statement in, I'm simply fading from one clip without the statement to a clip where the statement has already been written, so it looks like just the statement is fading in since everything else is the same.

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  3 года назад

      Thank you! I always try to speak very clearly and not too fast, and I don't get many complaints about my speed - the ones I do get are a mix between "too fast" and "too slow", it's impossible to be just right for everybody, but I just try to be as clear as possible! If you find a particular lesson too fast, you can always try watching it again, or watching certain sections of it again. There is also often additional explanation in the description, as well as links to related lessons you may find useful. And if you have any questions feel free to ask. Sometimes what you need to do is just grab pencil and paper and write out some of the stuff yourself, that's often the best way to iron out the details you're struggling with!
