Quote of the Day: 
      "Calculus has its limits."

Objectives:
    The student will begin to understand the concept of limit in mathematics.
    The student will view artistic works illustrating limits.
    The student will apply techniques of one-sided limits to graphs of relations.      
    The student will compute limits evaluated at infinity.

1. Collect Homework.

2. Artistic Approach to Limits – M.C. Escher (pictures, tee-shirt, posters)

3. Intuitive Idea of Limit
        The LIMIT is an expected value.  The actual value may actually be undefined.

   Some examples of one-sided limits (graphs):
