Key Concepts

One-sided Limits

One-sided limits examine the behavior of a function as the input approaches a particular value exclusively from one side — either from the left or the right. They are particularly useful in understanding functions with discontinuities or jumps, and they help in analyzing functions that have different behaviors depending on the direction of approach.

Limit

A limit is a fundamental concept in calculus that describes the behavior of a function as its argument approaches a particular value. It allows us to understand how a function behaves near a point of interest, even if the function is not defined at that point or has a discontinuity there.

Greatest Integer (Floor) Function

The greatest integer function, often denoted by the floor symbol, assigns to each real number the largest integer that is less than or equal to it. This function is defined for all real numbers and is inherently discontinuous at integer values, which leads to jumps that are important when analyzing limits and other properties.
