Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia
In mathematics, a limit is the value that a function (or sequence) approaches as the argument (or index) approaches some value. [1] . Limits of functions are essential to calculus and mathematical analysis, and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals.

Limits (An Introduction) - Math is Fun
We want to give the answer "2" but can't, so instead mathematicians say exactly what is going on by using the special word "limit". The limit of (x 2 −1) (x−1) as x approaches 1 is 2. And it is written in symbols as:

Limit, mathematical concept based on the idea of closeness, used primarily to assign values to certain functions at points where no values are defined, in such a way as to be consistent with nearby values.

What is a Limit? Remember Both parts of calculus are based on limits! The limit of a function is the value that $$f (x)$$ gets closer to as $$x$$ approaches some number. Examples

Calculus I - Limits
In this chapter we introduce the concept of limits. We will discuss the interpretation/meaning of a limit, how to evaluate limits, the definition and evaluation of one-sided limits, evaluation of infinite limits, evaluation of limits at infinity, continuity and the Intermediate Value Theorem.

Limits intro (article) | Khan Academy
Limits describe how a function behaves near a point, instead of at that point. This simple yet powerful idea is the basis of all of calculus.

We may use limits to describe infinite behavior of a function at a point. In this section, we establish laws for calculating limits and learn how to apply these laws.

Limits - Formula, Meaning, Examples - Cuemath
A limit tells us the value that a function approaches as that function's inputs get closer and closer (approaches) to some number. The idea of a limit is the basis of all differentials and integrals in calculus.
