What is a limit? (TEFC)

Analysis is that branch of mathematics which gives precision to vague terms like ‘infinitely large’ and ‘infinitesimally small’ and is founded on the concept of a limit. In this program, ideas behind a limit are examined and a formal definition to the limit of a sequence is reached.
