Real Numbers and Closure
... The set of rational numbers includes all integers and all fractions. Like the integers, the rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Furthermore, when you divide one rational number by another, the answer is always a rational number. Another way to say this is tha ...

... Cantor’s Diabolical Diagonal If R were countable could list all numbers in (0,1) by a sequence: r1 , r2 , r3 , r4 , r5 , r6 , r7, … Cantor’s diabolical diagonalization creates a number “revil” between 0 and 1 which is not on the list, contradicting countability assumption. Let ri,j be the j ’th deci ...

... upper bound of S is a number to the right of S in my picture. [Picture drawn in class.] That is, an upper bound of S is a number α which is greater than or equal to every number in S. That is, an upper bound of S is a number α such that x ≤ α for all x in S. A lower bound of S is a number to the lef ...

Law of large numbers
In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed.The LLN is important because it ""guarantees"" stable long-term results for the averages of some random events. For example, while a casino may lose money in a single spin of the roulette wheel, its earnings will tend towards a predictable percentage over a large number of spins. Any winning streak by a player will eventually be overcome by the parameters of the game. It is important to remember that the LLN only applies (as the name indicates) when a large number of observations are considered. There is no principle that a small number of observations will coincide with the expected value or that a streak of one value will immediately be ""balanced"" by the others (see the gambler's fallacy)
