The Limit Series

In this series, I establish what a limit is, explain the two main types of convergence, and then prove the Moore-Osgood Theorem, which specifies when you can switch limits in calculus.

What is a Limit, Really?

You’ve seen limits in Calculus class and you know it has something to do with approaching, but how would you use it in a proof?

When Can You Switch Limits in Calculus?

Buckle up. Real analysis pulls no punches.

limit as x approaches a limit as y approaches b of f of x and y equals with a question mark limit as y approaches b limit as x approaches a of f of x and y equals with a question mark limit as (x, y) approaches (a, b) of f of x and y. Basically, does switching the order of limits or taking both at the same time affect the output?
