The formal definition of a limit
Definition
Let f be a function defined on some open interval that contains the number a, except possibly at a itself. Then we say that the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L, and we write *lim(x->a) f(x) = L* if for every number µ>0 there is a number ´>0 such that if 0<|x-a|<´ then |f(x)-L|<µ
Term

Definition
If f(x)d"g(x)d"h(x) when x is near a (except possibly at a) and lim(x->a) f(x)= lim(x->a) h(x)= L then lim(x->) g(x)= L

Term
The Mean Value Theorem
Definition
1)F is continuous on [a,b], 2)F is differentiable on (a,b)- then there is a numberc in (a,b) such that f'(c)=(f(b)-f(a))/b-a (or in other words, the slope of f at c has to equal the slope between (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)))
