PART III. FUNCTIONS: LIMITS AND CONTINUITY III.1. LIMITS OF FUNCTIONS This chapter is concerned with functions f: D → R where D is a nonempty subset of R. That is, we will be considering real-valued functions of a real variable. The set D is called the domain of f. Definition 1. Let f: D → R and let c be an accumulation point of D. A number L
