The "Existence of Limits" section needs work. (In particular, I think <math>f(x) = \frac{1}{x}</math> is a bad example to start with -- <math>f(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor</math> would be better.) Also, there is no mention in this article of infinite limits or limits to infinity, both of which are important. --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 14:41, 7 January 2008 (EST) | The "Existence of Limits" section needs work.

Hello. I hastily created this article because I noticed we didn't have one on limits. I plan to add things such as proofs for uniqueness, multiplication, and addition, as well as stuff about continuity, left- and right-hand limits, infinite limits, continuous functions, etc., etc., etc. Please contribute if you'd like.
The article looks great.
By the way, when you add something to a "Talk" page, add a "signature with time stamp" so everyone knows who said that. The code is two dashes (-) followed by four tildens (~).

Oh, sorry; I thought everybody else could see it. That was me, by the way. Also, sorry about that stupid mixing-up of 
s and 
s. --~~
Whoops; I thought you had written "two tildes." All of the anonymous comments above were written by me. --Boy Soprano II 17:44, 30 June 2006 (EDT)
