The video tutorial explains the concept of sequence limits, focusing on proving that a specific sequence converges to zero. It introduces the terms epsilon and M, and provides a visual representation of the sequence's convergence. The tutorial then offers a detailed proof, demonstrating that for any epsilon greater than zero, there exists an M such that the sequence's terms are within epsilon of the limit for all n greater than M. The video concludes by summarizing the proof and confirming the sequence's convergence to zero.
