What’s the worst thing about limits?

• Is it always having to amplify by the conjugate to eliminate indeterminate forms? NO.

• Is it having to learn some limits by heart (especially for trig functions)? NO.

• Is it having to sometimes use L’Hôpital-Bernoulli’s rule over and over again? NO.

• Is it having to just write “lim” before each line? YES. FUCKING YES. WHY OH GOD WHY I HATE THE NOTATION.

The most infuriating part of it is that it’s just a notation and it could so easily be changed, BUT NO, we’re stuck with this shit.

just discovered the site “underground mathematics”, and only now i feel like ive entered the dark web of maths. spooky.

talking about web, i cant forget to mention the fact that the whole site and mathematics is organised along TUBE LINES like the LONDON UNDERGROUND !! now if that isn’t a graph theory reference i dont know what is!
