      From: fateman@cs.berkeley.edu              A more interesting question is: should the limit(cos(x)) as x-> infinity       should be defined as an interval [-1,1] ?              which is sort of what I got from Maple and Mathematica.       Or undefined. Or indefinite.       Actually the meaning of "infinity" is ambiguous -- which direction?       All? Any? positive real infinity.              RJF              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
