How would I show that the sequence $\{\cos(\frac{n\pi}{2}))\}$ diverges using an even/odd argument? So, here's what I have so far: \
Suppose $\{\cos(\frac{n\pi}{2}))\}$ converges to $L \geq 0$. Choose $\epsilon = 1/2$. Then, $\exists N$ such that $\forall n > N$ and $n \equiv 2 \pmod 4 $ we get $\lvert -1-L \rvert = 1+L \geq 1 > 1/2$ which means it can't converge to $L \geq 0$.
Suppose $\{\cos(\frac{n\pi}{2}))\}$ converges to $L < 0$. Choose $\epsilon = 1/2$. Then, $\exists N$ such that $\forall n > N$ and $n \equiv 0 \pmod 4 $ we get $\lvert 1-L \rvert = 1+\lvert L \rvert >1 > 1/2$ which means it can't converge to $L < 0$.
Now, since $\cos(\frac{n\pi}{2})$ takes on values $1,0,-1,0$ based on $n = 1,2,3,4 ...$ , do I need to show for the case where $n \equiv 1,3 \pmod 4$? I feel that I am missing something in this proof.
