    Why do we use |f(x)-L|< E instead of |f(x)-L|≤ E in delta-epsilon proofs?

    Perhaps this is a dumb question, but why do we use the inequality |f(x)-L|< E rather than |f(x)-L|≤ E ? If we are trying to get within Epsilon of our limit (L) than why not fit the mark exactly?

    Math Top Paying Jobs for Physicists - Career Trends and Projections

    I did a little research myself, and as you stated, Medical Physicists tend to make MUCH more than your average R&D physicist in another area. Plus, because of it being the mean value, a low salary of some other physicist and the higher salary of a Medical Physicist would average to about 80k or...
