Interactive animations!
The following animations are intended to supplement the printed article and for use as a tool for both instructors and students to build an understanding of the mathematics of near-numbers and the perspective they provide on the concept of limit. The instructions are short but complete, and take at most one page to lay out all options; for some of the animations, discussion of a number of interesting or representative cases are included after the instructions.
To view the animations, you'll need the free Flash Player for your system; the instructions require the free Acrobat Reader; if you do not have one or both, please click the links to go to Adobe's download pages.
