why not?
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Limits!
I thought it was kind of artificial. Anyway, it did not stick in my head.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

well a proof is a proof,although i don't like proofs with the use of computers.

Re: Limits!
Hi gAr and anonimnystefy;
We can now use the fact that all the terms are positive except for (-1)^n which oscillates. We just need to prove it does not get smaller.

It is difficult to do in the classical way, but maybe there is something else...
