I'm reading Baby Rudin at the moment and it claims something remarkable. Consider the sequence
$$ x_n=\frac{1}{n}.$$
The book claims that this converges to zero in the reals:
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} x_n=0.$$
It also claims that it does not converge like this in the positive reals. Why is this?

Because $0$ is not a positive real!
