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

Limit of a function Although the function is not defined at zero, as becomes closer and closer to zero, becomes arbitrarily close to 1. In other words, the limit of as approaches zero, equals 1. In mathematics, the limit of a function is a fundame ...

Limit of a sequence As the positive integer n becomes larger and larger, the value n\times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) becomes arbitrarily close to 1. We say that "the limit of the sequence n \times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) equals 1." In mathematics, the li ...

Limit inferior and limit superior In mathematics, the limit inferior and limit superior of a sequence can be thought of as limiting (that is, eventual and extreme) bounds on the sequence. They can be thought of in a similar fashion for a function (see limit of a function). For ...

Limit point In mathematics, a limit point, accumulation point, or cluster point of a set S in a topological space X is a point x that can be "approximated" by points of S in the sense that every neighbourhood of x contains a point of S other than x itself. A ...

Limit (category theory) In category theory, a branch of mathematics, the abstract notion of a limit captures the essential properties of universal constructions such as product (category theory), products, pullback (category theory), pullbacks and inverse limits. The d ...

Direct limit In mathematics, a direct limit is a way to construct a (typically large) object from many (typically smaller) objects that are put together in a specific way. These objects may be groups, rings, vector spaces or in general objects from any cate ...

Inverse limit In mathematics, the inverse limit (also called the projective limit) is a construction that allows one to "glue together" several related objects, the precise gluing process being specified by morphisms between the objects. Thus, inverse limits ca ...
