MHB What is the definition of a negative infinity limit?

Click For Summary
The discussion defines the limit of a function approaching positive infinity as a condition involving epsilon and delta, where for any positive epsilon, there exists a delta such that the function exceeds epsilon as x approaches p from the right. To establish the limit approaching negative infinity, the definition is mirrored, stating that for every positive epsilon, there must be a corresponding delta such that the function falls below negative epsilon as x approaches p from the left. This symmetry in definitions highlights the behavior of functions near points of discontinuity. The key takeaway is the relationship between the limits from both sides of a point and their respective behaviors towards infinity. Understanding these definitions is crucial for analyzing limits in calculus.

I have the following definition:
$$\lim_{x\to p^+}f(x)=+\infty\iff \forall\,\,\varepsilon>0,\,\exists\,\,\delta>0,\,\,\text{with}\,\,p+\delta< b: p< x < p+\delta \implies f(x) > \varepsilon$$
From this, how can I get the definition of
$$\lim_{x\to p^-}=-\infty? $$

We have $\lim\limits_{x\to p^{-}} f(x) = -\infty$ if to every $\epsilon > 0$ there corresponds a $\delta > 0$ such that for all $x$, $p - \delta < x < p$ implies $f(x) < -\epsilon$.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
