Mónica Arnal-Palacián; Francisco J. Claros-Mellado; María T. Sánchez-Compaña – Pythagoras, 2024
The purpose of this article is to conduct a mathematical and phenomenological comparison of three concepts: (1) the finite limit of a function at a point, (2) the finite limit of a sequence, and (3) the infinite limit of a sequence. Additionally, we aim to analyse the presence of these concepts in Spanish textbooks. The methodology employed is…
