Collins | While it pains me greatly to observe it, the epsilon/delta definition of a limit is already stricken out of many mainline calculus courses and textbooks. So one that expects to cut out 90% of a standard course is highly unlikely to include it (as evidenced by @MichaelHardy's comment above). | |

| Dec 24, 2015 at 4:28 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | But I'm not sure limits should be mentioned at all. | |
