Talk:How to evaluate the limit of a real-valued function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a fun limit a slightly eccentric databases prof gave us as a puzzle once:
\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt n\sin^n(1)=\sqrt 3
(that's the functional power on sine...ie it's a statement on the rate of convergence of the iteration x\to\sin(x))


[edit] "Squeeze theorem"

I'm not sure how common this is, but my AP Calculus textbook and teacher refer to this "Squeeze theorem" as the "Sandwich" theorem. Just wondering if maybe that should be added to the page, but I'm sure there are many similar variations of that theorem's name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.209.31.8 (talk) 23:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC).
