[edit] Question

Is a sequence space a space composed of sequences or is it a space composed of the functions that form the sequences from N --> C? It's not really clear. And as I'm just learning this topic myself I'm not ready to jump in and change anything. futurebird (talk) 13:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

When you get down to it, the usual definition of sequence is a function from the natural numbers. In any case, it makes no difference whether you think of the space as a collection of countably infinite ordered sets or as a collection of functions from N. nadav (talk) 14:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay, that makes sense, can you look at my recent edit to check that I didn't make matters worse? futurebird (talk) 14:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it made it more confusing. The article already says directly that a sequence space is some subspace of the space of functions from N to C. nadav (talk) 14:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I still think the wording could use some work, though. It seems to come to the main definition in as round about way. I don't know maybe you can look it since you seem to know a bit more about the topic. futurebird (talk) 14:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
