Abstract
• Let f : D → ℝ and let c be an accumulation point of D. We say that a real number L is a limit of f at c, and write
When a variable quantity converges towards a fixed limit, it is often useful to indicate this limit by a specific notation, which we shall do by setting the abbreviation
lim
in front of the variable in question.
Augustin Louis Cauchy (1789–1857)
