Reciprocals of nonzero natural numbers #1345
Conversation
This is a step on the way to Cauchy sequences, not just Cauchy approximations, and can get folded into that when it's ready if you like, but it seemed like a reasonable chunk to break into its own PR. |
As promised, #1347 goes the rest of the way to Cauchy sequences. |
Reciprocals of nonzero natural numbers are also called unit fractions: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q255388 Would you mind factoring out their definition and any of their properties into a separate file? |
I've done it. |

Gives us the ability to go back and forth between Cauchy sequences and Cauchy approximations, and their limits. Naturally, this is going to be necessary for a lot of analysis built on series and sequences. Depends on #1345.
Many related properties along with it. Hopefully this will help us do things like simply take half of a rational number and the like.
