  2. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In these limits, the infinitesimal change is often denoted or .If () is differentiable at , (+) = ′ ().This is the definition of the derivative.All differentiation rules can also be reframed as rules involving limits.

  3. Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a limit is the value that a function (or sequence) approaches as the argument (or index) approaches some value. [1] Limits of functions are essential to calculus and mathematical analysis, and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals.

  4. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_inferior_and_limit...

    In mathematical analysis, limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers.Since the supremum and infimum of an unbounded set of real numbers may not exist (the reals are not a complete lattice), it is convenient to consider sequences in the affinely extended real number system: we add the positive and negative infinities to the real line to give the ...

  5. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    Although implicit in the development of calculus of the 17th and 18th centuries, the modern idea of the limit of a function goes back to Bolzano who, in 1817, introduced the basics of the epsilon-delta technique (see (ε, δ)-definition of limit below) to define continuous functions.

  6. Limit of a sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_sequence

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the symbol (e.g., ). [1] If such a limit exists and is finite, the sequence is called convergent. [2]

  7. Set-theoretic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_limit

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence of sets,, … (subsets of a common set ) is a set whose elements are determined by the sequence in either of two equivalent ways: (1) by upper and lower bounds on the sequence that converge monotonically to the same set (analogous to convergence of real-valued sequences) and (2) by convergence of a sequence of indicator functions which are themselves ...

  8. L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule

    L'Hôpital's rule (/ ˌ l oʊ p iː ˈ t ɑː l /, loh-pee-TAHL) or L'Hospital's rule, also known as Bernoulli's rule, is a mathematical theorem that allows evaluating limits of indeterminate forms using derivatives.

  9. Limit (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(category_theory)

    Limits and colimits in a category are defined by means of diagrams in .Formally, a diagram of shape in is a functor from to : :. The category is thought of as an index category, and the diagram is thought of as indexing a collection of objects and morphisms in patterned on .
