Perhaps a trivial question, but something I never completely understood. If we have shown that $a-b < epsilon$ for all $epsilon > 0$, then does that imply that $a-b le 0$?
I"m interested in it in the context of this question: Proving that $ f: [a,b] to BbbR $ is Riemann-integrable using an $ epsilon $-$ delta $ definition.

Yes, it does.
Suppose not. Then $a-b > 0$ and in particular we can take $epsilon = a-b$. The statement then says that $a-b < a-b$, which is absurd.

To add to this answer, a common proof technique is to conclude that $a = 0$ from $|a| < epsilon$ for all $epsilon > 0$.
