Mathematical analysis
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Analysis is about limits. We can use limits to see what happens very close to things. We can also use limits to see what happens when things get very big. For example, 1 / n is never zero, but as n gets bigger 1 / n gets close to zero. The limit of 1 / n as n gets bigger is zero. We usually say "The limit of 1 / n as n goes to infinity is zero". We write .
