    Writing a formal ε-δ proof for a linear limit

    Ha ha, no, I'm not that much of a noob. I pretty much knew what to do but wasn't sure if I was correct. Your post helped confirm to me that I was going in the right direction. I was trying to make it more difficult than it actually was. Thanks HallsofIvy, your post helped me feel confident...

    Programs Which math track for CS/math double major: pure, applied, or statistics?

    I was originally planning on being a CS major and a Math minor but after a little research, I found out that it's only about a semester more work to get a double major. Since I like Math and wanted to take more Math classes anyway, I'm going to get the double major. I'd like some suggestions on...

I understand the logic behind the ε-δ definition of a limit but I've never been asked to write a proof before and there aren't any examples in our book. I understand the semantics but not the syntax of what I need to...
