I am trying to prove that if ${s_n}$ is a convergent sequence, $\lim_{ n \to \infty} s_n = s$ iff $\lim_{ n \to \infty} \log(s_n) = \log(s)$. I don't have any notion of continuity yet (although I know that continuous functions are precisely the ones that preserve limits), so i am trying to do this without that fact. This is part of a larger problem where i have a sequence $s_n$ which i am trying to show converges to 1, but so far i managed to show $log(s_n)$ converges to $0$.
Trying to prove logarithms preserve limits without any notion of continuity

0Mike: Maybe by looking at how you got to log(s_n) --> 0 you can "work backwards" and see how to actually get s_n --> 1 on reversing the steps. – 2012-11-14
