Re: limit with greatest integer

Hi juantheron;


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

From the right:

Two different limits, therefore the limit does not exist.

Re: limit with greatest integer

That one does not exist either.
