Subject: terminology in definitions of limits
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:13:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LPIwa-0001Ty-3l@mailserv.mta.ca> (raw)

Folk,

Each definition of a limit which I've 
seen contains something I would describe 
as a "probe object" or "test object".  The 
definition of map object in L&S page 313 
for example, has X with a criterion asserted 
for every object X in the category.

Is there any sense in my terminology?

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
