Talk:Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Spelling

Weierstrass/Weierstraß

It is not really my buisness, but I think in English it should be spelled Weierstrass, you know, all these books, and everything. Tosha 07:35, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Agree. Oleg Alexandrov 21:16, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

What's up with the weird dash? Shouldn't it be a hyphen? 67.164.12.169 07:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

No, the en dash is correct. See Dash#En dash. —Caesura^(t) 19:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Equivalent theorems

Regarding this edit: What does it mean for theorems to be equivalent? I understand what it means that propositions A and B are equivalent (namely, A implies B and B implies A), but that does not make sense for theorems which are basically tautologies. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative Theorems

In my real analysis class, I had two Bolzano-Weierstrass theorems:

one for sets, and one (as is here) for sequences

Is there somewhere where the sets one is taken care of?
