What
the
fuck

I'm going to start a math major in like a week and these are some of the problems the last weeks of intro to calculus. I'm really good at self-studying, I've studied a lot of undergraduate stuff these months and I've managed to master a lot of exercises from books (Spivak, Herstein, Enderton)

But I feel like a fucking brainlet whenever I check sequence related stuff. I can do convergence tests and proofs related to infinite series but I can't prove a fucking sequence convergence. Heck, I'm even able to prove some functions' limits through epsilon-delta

So, any help? What's a good book that'll help me prove sequence theorems/exercises? Rudin is too topologic, Spivak is too simple, Stewart doesn't even feature proofs.

also... am I panicking too soon for not being able to do these problems?
