   Re: should CAS resturn infinity for dive

   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.
