Proof: Infimum of {1/n} = 0 | Real Analysis

The infimum of the set containing all reciprocals of natural numbers has an infimum of 0. That is, 0 is the greatest lower bound of {1/n | n is natural}. We prove this infimum in today's real analysis lesson using the Archimedean Principle, which tells us that given any real number x, we can find a greater natural number.
