This document provides 10 problems for a homework assignment on analysis in one variable. The problems cover determining if sequences are convergent, proving limits of sequences of rational and irrational numbers, properties of convergent sequences, examples of sequences where the limit of absolute values exists but not the sequence itself, proving the limit of a recursively defined sequence, comparing limits of two sequences, relating limits of a positive sequence to the reciprocal sequence, and determining limits of exponential and power sequences.

• Please maintain a separate notebook for home work problems.
• Tutors will discuss some of these problems during tutorial sessions.
• N denote the set of natural numbers.
• Z denote the ring of integers.
• Q denote the field of rational numbers.
• R denote the field of real numbers.
