What’s on the Epsilon-Delta Limits poster
The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.
- lim f(x) = L at a means: for every ε > 0 there is a δ > 0 with |f(x) − L| < ε wheneve…
- ∀ε ∃δ : 0 < |x − a| < δ ⇒ |f(x) − L| < ε
- f(x) = 3x, a = 2, L = 6 = Take δ = ε/3
- The order of ε and δ = ε first, δ second
- Why 0 < |x − a| = f(a) is irrelevant
- Common mistake: Choosing δ first and then finding an ε → ε is given; δ is what you co…
δ may depend on both ε and a. When a single δ works for every a at once, the function is uniformly continuous.

- Who is the Epsilon-Delta Limits poster for?
- Epsilon-Delta Limits belongs to the Mathematics section rather than to a school year, because math is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning analysis can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Epsilon-Delta Limits poster?
- Whenever a limit has to be proved rather than computed. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Epsilon-Delta Limits belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Epsilon-Delta Limits?
- Absolute vs Conditional, Bolzano-Weierstrass and Cauchy Sequences sit alongside Epsilon-Delta Limits in the Mathematics section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Absolute vs ConditionalBolzano-WeierstrassCauchy Sequences
- Is the Epsilon-Delta Limits poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Epsilon-Delta Limits downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Mathematics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Epsilon-Delta Limits poster print at?
- Epsilon-Delta Limits is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Epsilon-Delta Limits loses nothing.Printing guide
