limit

In mathematics, in an infinite sequence, the final value towards which the sequence is tending. For example, the limit of the sequence 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, 15/16 ... is 1, although no member of the sequence will ever exactly equal 1 no matter how many terms are added together. The limit of the ratios of a Fibonacci sequence is (√5 + 1)/2. This number is also the golden section.
