8 years ago Can you keep what I wrote somewhere for further use? The problem is that the next section (1.3) mentions what was done in 1.2, so it makes less sense from a readers perspective if you skip that section. I think most people at least try to make some passing mention of epsilon-deltas.

Subject to more discussion, I'm going to remove the extra less formal definition for a limit. At PCC, I think this section would just be skipped. It's hard to see what good the rest of the section is (exercises, examples) to a student who is relying on the less formal definition. How about reviewing the intro section and seeing if an informal definition could go there? Or writing an entirely new section with its own examples and exercises based on an informal definition. We could call it section 1.2′ :)
