Well, one other source [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_polytechnique_%28France%29#Scientifiques (in French)] mentions "suites de Cauchy et des critères de convergence associés" but I'm not sure what they refer to as there is no link...;)

So I temporarily truncated the sentence. I'm thinking to elaborate it further (to eventually mention "Cauchy sequence" and completeness of the space). Feel free to do it before I come back. [[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 13:20, 3 November 2007 (CDT)

A sentence from intro

"He established a convergence criterion for sequences of the type that are now called Cauchy sequences". Well, one other source (in French) mentions "suites de Cauchy et des critères de convergence associés" but I'm not sure what they refer to as there is no link...;) So I temporarily truncated the sentence. I'm thinking to elaborate it further (to eventually mention "Cauchy sequence" and completeness of a space). Feel free to do it before I come back. Aleksander Stos 13:20, 3 November 2007 (CDT)
