Examples for
Limits
Limits are the underlying tool used in calculus, appearing in the definitions of continuity, derivatives and integrals. Wolfram|Alpha has the power to compute bidirectional limits, one-sided limits, supremum and infimum limits, discrete limits and multivariable limits. More information, such as plots and series expansions, is provided to enhance mathematical intuition about a limit.
