Numerically Computing a Limit
To numerically compute a limit:
• Use the evalf(Limit(arguments)) calling sequence.
Important: Use the inert Limit command, not the limit command. For more
information, refer to the ?limit help page.
The Limit command accepts the same arguments as the limit command.
For example:
>
For information on the evalf command, see Numerical Approxima-
tion (page 313).
The Limit command does not compute the limit. It returns an unevaluated
limit.

For more information on the Limit command, refer to the ?Limit help page.
