The '''American Mathematics Competitions''' (AMC) consist of a series of increasingly difficult tests for students in middle school and high school.  The AMC sets the standard in the United States for talented high school students of [[mathematics]].  The AMC curriculum is both comprehensive and modern.  AMC exams are so well designed that some top universities such as [[MIT]] now ask students for their AMC scores.  "AMC" is also used as an abbreviation for American Math Contest, used to refer to the AMC 8, AMC 10, and AMC 12...

Limit

For a real function $f(x)$ and some value $c$, $\lim_{x\rightarrow c} f(x)$ (said, "the limit of $f$ at $x$ as $x$ goes to $c$) equals $L$ iff for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists a $\delta$ such that if $0<|x-c|<\delta$, then $|f(x)-L|< \epsilon$... [more]
