Definition

A limit allows us to sidestep the notion of infinity and to allow us to potentially extend the domain of functions

Class Name Form Meaning
Limit of a sequence converging to a limn(an)=a
  • ϵ>0NNnN[n>N|ana|<ϵ] - first form
  • ϵ>0NNnN[n>Nd(an,a)<ϵ] - Metric space (X,d)
  • ϵ>0NNnNUJ[aU(n>NanU)] - Topological space (X,J)
Tending towards + limn(an)=+
  • C>0NNnN[n>Nan>C]
Tending towards limn(an)=
  • C<0NNnN[n>Nan<C]
Diverging to limn(an)=
  • C>0NNnN[n>N|an|>C]
Limit of a function at x0 converging to limxx0(f(x))= ϵ>0δ>0xX[0<d(x,x0)<δd(f(x),)<ϵ]



TODO: I like the idea of a summary page, but it needs to link to the right pages and have definitions in place
