[edit] Italian name

In Italian, the squeeze theorem is also known as the two carabineri theorem. The idea is that two carabinieri are holding a prisoner in the middle.

How is this relevant to English-speaking readers? —Frungi 03:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Because it is an effective visualisation of what exactly is going on in the situation; use your imagination. Dysprosia 05:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real world uses

Are there any real world uses for this function that can be used to bolster the definition? At first blush this seems like a merely academic theorem/painfully obvious notion. What's the purpose of the squeeze function for applications? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.24.60 (talk) 13:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC) It's useful for evaluating all sorts of limits For example it can be used to show the derivative of sinx is cosx which is a basic fact that's used implicitly throughout maths and physics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.127.8 (talk) 20:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
