underlies many of the ideas of calculus, such as the derivative. It is therefore of fundamental importance in real analysis, which provides the rigorous justification for calculus. Limits describe how a sequence, function, or family of functions behave under a limiting process, such as letting an index tend to infinity, or a letting point become very large or approach another point. The formal language of limits defines continuity, differentiation, integration, infinite series,
