Introduce Axiom of Completeness, the bed rock of advanced calculus, where every nonempty bounded above subset of R has a lower upper bound (supremum), and every nonempty bounded below subset of R has a greatest lower bound (infimum). Introduce the consequences of the Axiom of Completeness, with the Nested Interval Property and the Archimedean Property.

In real analysis, the monotone convergence theorem states that if a sequence increases and is bounded above by a supremum, it will converge to the supremum; similarly, if a sequence decreases and is bounded below by an infimum, it will converge to the infimum.

Explain the proof for the nested interval property, and also the proofs for the Archimedean Property, which is split into two parts.
