A Gentle Introduction to Evaluating Limits
The concept of the limit of a function dates back to Greek scholars such as Eudoxus and Archimedes. While they never formally defined limits, many of their calculations were based upon this concept. Isaac Newton formally defined the notion of a limit and Cauchy refined this idea. Limits form the basis of calculus, which in turn defines the foundation of many machine learning algorithms. Hence, it is important to understand how limits of different types of functions are evaluated.
In this tutorial, you will discover how to evaluate the limits of different types of functions.
