INTRODUCTION

Limit and Continuity is a branch of calculus. Intuitively we call quantity y a function of another quantity x if there is a rule by which a unique value of y is associated with a corresponding value of x.

DEFINITION OF LIMIT OF A FUNCTION

When value of x is very close to certain value a, then functional value f(x) goes on becoming l. Then symbolically we can say that
