The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem states that every bounded sequence of real numbers has a convergent subsequence.

For a proof, place all terms in a closed bounded interval $I_1$. Bisect it and choose a closed half $I_2$ containing infinitely many terms. Continue inductively, choosing nested closed intervalswith infinitely many sequence terms and with lengths tending to zero. Choose $n_k>n_{k-1}$ such that $x_{n_k}\in I_k$. The nested interval theorem gives a unique point $x$ in every $I_k$. Because both $x_{n_k}$ and $x$ lie in $I_k$,Thus $(x_{n_k})$ is a convergent subsequence.

Now suppose every convergent subsequence of the bounded sequence $(x_n)$ converges to $L$. If $x_n$ did not converge to $L$, there would be an $ϵ>0$ and a subsequence $(x_{n_k})$ satisfyingfor every $k$. This subsequence is bounded, so Bolzano--Weierstrass gives a convergent subsubsequence. By hypothesis its limit is $L$, contradicting the displayed inequality. Hence the unique subsequential limit of a bounded sequence principle gives

The alternating series test says that if $a_n\ge 0$, $a_{n+1}\le a_n$, and $a_n\to 0$, then ${\sum }_{n\ge 1}(-1{)}^{n+1}{a}_n$ converges.

To prove it, let $S_N$ be the partial sums. The even sums satisfyso $(S_{2m})$ is increasing. The odd sums satisfyso $(S_{2m+1})$ is decreasing. Also $S_{2m}\le S_{2m+1}$, so both are bounded and converge. Their difference is $a_{2m+1}\to 0$, hence their limits agree and the whole sequence $(S_N)$ converges.

Taking $a_n=1/n$ proves convergence of the alternating harmonic series. Its even partial sums lie below its limit $S$, while its odd partial sums lie above it. Sinceandwe obtain

Let $P_B,P_{B^{\prime }},P_C,P_{C^{\prime }}$ have the corresponding basis vectors as columns in standard coordinates. From the PDF,The matrix representation of a linear map in standard coordinates is $P_{C}A{P}_B^{-1}$. The change of basis formula therefore givesMultiplication yields

Chemical equilibrium for $p+e^{-}\rightleftharpoons H+\gamma$ gives ${\mu }_p+{\mu }_e={\mu }_H$, because the photon chemical potential vanishes. Applying the nonrelativistic number-density formula to all three massive species and taking the ratio givesUse charge neutrality $n_p=n_e$, the Hydrogen binding energy $E_{\mathrm{bind}}=m_p{c}^2+m_e{c}^2-m_H{c}^2$, $m_H\simeq m_p$, and the ground-state statistical weights $g_H=g_p{g}_e$. ThenThe approximations are a dilute, nondegenerate ideal gas in thermal and chemical equilibrium, nonrelativistic electrons, protons and hydrogen, negligible excited hydrogen states, and negligible corrections from the proton-to-hydrogen mass ratio. This relation is the Saha ionization equation.

Write the position of a mass element relative to the center of mass as $\mathbf{r}$, so its inertial-frame velocity is $\dot{\mathbf{X}}+\mathbf{\omega }\times \mathbf{r}$. The center-of-mass identity $\int \mathbf{r}dm=0$ removes all cross terms. Define the inertia tensor about the center of mass byThe total angular momentum about the origin and kinetic energy are then

Let $\rho (r)=C{r}^{-1}\sin (\pi r/R)$. Spherical symmetry makes $I=I_{0}1$. The mass normalization isso $C=M/(4R^2)$. A moment about any diameter isTherefore

With the stated sign convention, write $t=y-x$ to obtainThe Cauchy principal value of the cosine part vanishes by oddness, while the Dirichlet integral givesThus the Hilbert transform has Fourier multiplier $-i\mathrm{sgn}(\omega )$. Taking the real part yields

A context-free grammar is in Chomsky normal form when every production has the form $A\to BC$ or $A\to a$, where $A,B,C$ are nonterminals and $a$ is a terminal symbol; one may additionally allow the new start production $S_0\to ϵ$ when the language contains the empty string, provided $S_0$ never appears on a right-hand side.

The standard conversion proceeds as follows.

The terminal alphabet $\Sigma$ may be kept unchanged throughout, although unused terminals may be discarded by convention. Every stage preserves the generated language, with the explicit protection of $ϵ$ at the start-symbol stage. For example,is already in Chomsky normal form and generates the infinite language $\{a^n:n\ge 1\}$, so its conversion may be the grammar itself.
