Re: [jbovlaste] Is mathematical terminology jargon?

[Ian Johnson <blindbravado@gmail.com>]

That use of {jimte} is outright wrong, in that it is entirely inconsistent for something like x_n = (-1)^n/n where 0 is not a bound in any sense and yet is the limit of the sequence. This is also jargon, and should be treated as such. {jimte} when used in mathematics should be for things like "boundary of a topological space"

  Yes, it's jargon, IMHO. 

  As for limit in the mathematical sense:

  fancyjimte: j1 is the limit of  function f1=j2  from domain f2=j3 to range f3 (add fa'a piece if you want to specify direction of the limit)

I'm thinking of adding the word "kadlago" (x1 is a càdlàg function from domain
x2 to range x3, where the domain and range have topologies such that it makes
sense). "càdlàg" is a French acronym which looks strange even in French, but
has been adopted into various languages. Should I mark it as jargon?

Also, what's the word for "limit" in the mathematical sense?
