>From the "One-Sided Limits" page at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/elliottd/calctut/onesided.html here are some typos and suggestions: [1] You might want to rewrite the snippet "which builds upon the preceding lesson of continuity." as "which builds upon the preceding lesson on continuity." [2] You might want to rewrite the sentence "You probably see where this is going -- what we can say that the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from the left is 2, and the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from the right is 1." as "You probably see where this is going. What we can say is that the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from the left is 2, and the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from the right is 1." [3] You might want to rewrite the sentence "One-sided limits are usually fairly straightforward, though be aware that when a function approaches a vertical asymptote, such as at x=0 in the following graph, you would describe the limit of the function as approaching -oo or oo, depending on the case." as "One-sided limits are usually fairly straightforward. However, be aware that when a function approaches a vertical asymptote, such as at x=0 in the following graph, you would describe the limit of the function as approaching -oo or oo, depending on the case." [4] You might want to rewrite the snippet "The limit of f(x) as x approaches zero is undefined, since both sides approach different values. Visually," as "The limit of f(x) as x approaches zero is undefined, since both sides approach different values.
