Re: Limits
Doing this kind of problem with epsilon and delta definitions is pretty ridiculous. I would prove that polynomials are continuous, then that division of continuous functions is continuous where the divisor does not equal 0. Otherwise, things start getting crazy.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
