1 Formal Definition

The limit, \( L \), of a function \( f(x) \), as \( x \) approaches some \( a \) is defined as:

\[ \forall \epsilon > 0, \ \exists \delta > 0, \ s.t. | f(x) - L | < \epsilon \] \[ \forall x \in (a - \delta, a + \delta) \]

The notation for this is \( \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L \)
