Hello,

I am looking for a few limits problems to give to my students.
I am looking for university level. I need complex limits. I am giving
them the L'Hopital rule:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)#l.27H.C3.B4pital.27s_rule

Does anyone knows where can I get a few problems?

And does anyone knows a few free math eBooks for downloading?

Thanks,
Miguel

For your consideration:

(1 - x)^(1/x) as x -> 0

x / (x^2 + 1)^(1/2) as x -> oo

[cos(x) - cos(a)] / (x - a) as x -> a

(a^x - b^x) / x as x -> 0

log[cos(2 x)] / (pi - x)^2 as x -> pi

[tan(x) - x] / [x - sin(x)] as x -> 0

[sin(x) - x] / [x - tan(x)] as x -> 0

sec(3 x) / sec(5 x) as x -> pi/2

[1 - log(x)] / x as x -> 0

log(x - pi/2) / tan(x) as x -> pi/2


For all positive and negative values of n,
x^n / e^x as x -> oo

For all positive values of m and n,
[log(x)]^m / x^n as x -> oo

For all positive values of m and n,
x^n [log(x)]^m as x -> 0


1/(x - pi) - 1/sin(x) as x -> pi

x^x as x -> 0

x^(1/x) as x -> oo

(1 + a x)^(b/x) as x -> 0

[sin(x)]^tan(x) as x -> pi/2


Have the students study the limits toward the bottom of the page
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LHospitalsRule.html>
for examples where L'Hospital does not hold ... and why!
