Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem (sequence form): every bounded sequence in (\mathbb{R}^n) has a convergent subsequence. Equivalently for sets in (\mathbb{R}): every infinite bounded subset of (\mathbb{R}) has at least one accumulation (limit) point. Consider the set [ S=\left{\frac1m-\frac1n:;m,n\in\mathbb{N}\right}. ] First note (S) is bounded: for all (m,n) we have (-1<\frac1m-\frac1n<1), so (S\subset(-1,1)). Also (S) is infinite (there are infinitely many ordered pairs ((m,n)) producing distinct values), so by Bolzano–Weierstrass (S) must have at least one accumulation point. We now identify explicit limit points.
