OpenStudy (cwrw238):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inf=infimum

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

it is defined here for those who are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

it is the opposite of sup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

thanx - something new for me

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yw :) in this case the inf would indeed be 2, but I am not sure how you would /formally/ prove this? maybe you can just show that: 2 <= 2 2 <= 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

OpenStudy (asnaseer):
