10.4. Bolzano, Bernhard (1781-1848) Weierstrass theorem, a modern definition of a continuous function and the non- differentiable Bolzano function. Bolzano, though a priest, was a "free thinker" himself and was not afraid to express his beliefs in Czech nationalism. Bolzano had many new mathematical and logical ideas during his lifetime; however, because he was prohibited from publishing by the government, most of his writings existed only in manuscript. web01.shu.edu /projects/reals/history/bolzano.html   (783 words)

Karl Weierstrass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Karl Weierstrass was the son of Wilhem Weierstrass, a government official, and Theodora Vonderforst. Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass (Weierstraß) (October 31, 1815 – February 19, 1897) was a German mathematician who is often cited as the "father of modern analysis". During this period of study, Weierstrass attended the lectures of Christoph Gudermann and became interested in elliptic functions. www.secaucus.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Karl_Weierstrass   (319 words)

Bolzano-Weierstrass Example The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem does guaranty the existence of that subsequence, but says nothing about how to obtain it. Therefore, using the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, there exists a convergent subsequence. However, it is nearly impossible to actually list this subsequence. pirate.shu.edu /projects/reals/numseq/answers/bolzex1.html   (93 words)

Analysis WebNotes: Chapter 06, Class 29 This proof of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem uses ideas based on Ramsey's Theorem from combinatorics. Indeed the key step of the proof, showing that every sequence of real numbers has a monotonic subsequence can be proved using Ramsey's Theorem. The following theorem shows that, at least in the real numbers, many sequences have convergent subsequences. www.math.unl.edu /~webnotes/classes/class29/class29.htm   (234 words)

Applications of Bolzano-Weierstrass Method by W. Kulpa, Sz. Plewik and M. Turza\'nski In most of proofs of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem stating that: Every bounded sequence of real numbers has at least one point of accumulation, a method of dividing intervals into parts is used. We show how some modification of this method, which we call the Bolzano-Weierstrass method, can be adopted for infinitary combinatorics. at.yorku.ca /b/a/a/j/30.htm   (70 words)

1. the beginnings Before the 19th century, folks already knew that "small" polynomials attained their maxima and minima on closed intervals, but the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem led to what turns out to be one of the chief motivations for studying compactness, Weierstrass' theorem The proof of these essentially led to the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem A key to this theorem is an axiom implying that the real line has "no holes except at infinity": Call the set www.math.buffalo.edu /~sww/classes/COMPACT/COMPACT1.html   (476 words)

ChapterZero » Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem In the process, I proved the triangle inequality and the nested interval theorem, which are tools that I think would really speed up the progress of the class. Turns out that the proof I have is very similar to the proof the book gives for the theorem. For instance, the last proposition— to prove that if a series converges, then the associated sequence converges to zero— is trivial to prove once you have the triangle inequality. www.tangentspace.net /cz/archives/2005/02/bolzano-weierstrass-theorem   (370 words)

Sequential compactness Together with the Heine-Borel theorem this implies the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem. This is attributed to the Czech mathematician Bernhard Bolzano (1781 to 1848) and the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815 to 1897). In fact, a metric space is compact if and only if it is sequentially compact. www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk /~john/MT4522/Lectures/L22.html   (217 words)

Karl Weierstrass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia With these new definitions he was able to write proofs of several at the time unproven theorems such as the intermediate value theorem, Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem and Heine-Borel theorem. During this period of study, Weierstrass attended the lectures of Christoph Gudermann and became interested in elliptic functions.

weierstrass approach to analysis it is odd for example that a theorem could be known as the bolzano - weierstrass theorem, when the two men worked some 50 years apart. (of course there is also a stone - weierstrass theorem and a riemann - kempf theorem, and a gauss - bonnet - chern theorem,.....,in which there is 80-120 years separating the two workers, but in those cases the new results mentioned are significant generalizations of the older ones. Since Weierstrass was the one systematizing the "epsilon/delta"-approach to calculus, you might say that Weierstrass was the first to provide a truly mature and rigorous approach to calculus. www.physicsforums.com /showthread.php?referrerid=35074&t=82257   (1718 words)
