Our calculus teacher recently started doing limit maths using delta-epsilon method. But this method seems really complex to me and I think this method has some problem. i think sometimes we agree with un-logical decisions in order to find out the result.
The method start with this,
|f(x)-L|<epsilon if 0<|x-a|<delta,
finally we bring,
|x-a|<epsilon/k if 0<|x-a|<delta,
and tell:
so, delta=epsilon/k
Can we tell delta=epsilon/k? Specially when it is un-equality? My madam gave some answer but that was not logical also. She told in order to find out result, we need to agree with it.
Can anyone explain this method?
