Mathematicians try to convey as much information as
possible with as few symbols as possible. For instance,
does not exist, since the first statement not only says that
the limit does not exist, but also says that increases
without bound as x approaches 0, with x > 0 or x < 0.

We are also interested in examining the limiting behavior of
functions as x increases without bound (written x → ∞) or
as x decreases without bound (written x → −∞).
