I saw this paradox a long time ago but have never been able to find a resolution to it. In the diagram below, the length of the straight line is of course √2, but the length of the 'pyramid' curve is always 2⋅n⋅1n=2 (shown below is n=10). In the limit n→∞ it appears that the lines converge, but of course their lengths do not. Why does this happen, and how can this apparent paradox be resolved?

analysis - Injection, making bijection
I have injection f:A→B and I want to get bijection. Can I just resting codomain to f(A)? I know that every function i...

So if I have a matrix and I put it into RREF and keep track of the row operations, I can then write it as a product of elementary matrices. ...

I need to give an explicit bijection between (0,1] and [0,1] and I'm wondering if my bijection/proof is correct. Using the hint tha...
