Examples abound, one of the simplest being that for a double sequence a m,n: it is not necessarily the case that the operations of taking the limits as m → ∞ and as n → ∞ can be freely interchanged. [4] For example take a m,n = 2 m − n. in which taking the limit first with respect to n gives 0, and with respect to m gives ∞.
Perturbation theory is an important tool for describing real quantum systems, as it turns out to be very difficult to find exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation for Hamiltonians of even moderate complexity.
In many specialized areas of order theory, one restricts to classes of partially ordered sets that are complete with respect to certain limit constructions. For example, in lattice theory , one is interested in orders where all finite non-empty sets have both a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.
The impulse delivered by a varying force is the integral of the force F with respect to time: =. The SI unit of impulse is the newton second (N⋅s), or the Cupp, [ 1 ] and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram metre per second (kg⋅m/s).
In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one.
In particular, one can no longer talk about the limit of a function at a point, but rather a limit or the set of limits at a point. A function is continuous at a limit point p of and in its domain if and only if f(p) is the (or, in the general case, a) limit of f(x) as x tends to p. There is another type of limit of a function, namely the ...

In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if
