A

A metric space is a pair (X,d) where X is a set and d:X x X -> R is a map such that for all x,y,z:
1:d(x,y) >= 0
2:d(x,y) = 0 => x = y
3:d(x,y) = d(y,x)

Q

Difference between pointwise and uniform convergence

A

(1) Note that for pointwise convergence we can choose N depending on t, while for uniform convergence
we have to choose N that works for all t simultaneously (uniformly).
(2) Uniform convergence implies pointwise convergence.
(3) We can see from the previous example that uniform convergence is equivalent to the convergence
with respect to the metric d∞.
