Tall, D. O.; Schwarzenberger, R. L. E. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
One possible way of looking at the limit concept, from the learner's point of view, is proposed; it can easily be built up gradually with little risk of conscious or subconscious conflicts of concepts perceived to be closely related. (MN)
