Hello Professor Kontorovich, I believe Squeeze Theorem should be slightly altered. I believe it should be:
Let (an), (cn) be two sequences converging to ℓ, and (bn) a sequence. If ∀ n ≥ N, N ∈ N we have an ≤ bn ≤ cn, then (bn) also converges to ℓ.

Currently we don't have the constraint N, and it's just an ≤ bn ≤ cn for all n, which isn't what Squeeze Theorem is.
I actually had issue with this in latest homework, because I cannot use the sequence 1/n as part of my squeeze theorem, as when n= 0 it's invalid and the an ≤ bn ≤ cn doesn't work. Fixing the definition would allow it to work that way.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Hi Roger, sure, we can make an "eventually" version of the Squeeze Theorem. You've changed the definition, so now the proof breaks; can you fix it, and resubmit the PR? Best, AK
