Thanks. I get it now, although returning infinity when asking for the two-sided limit seems a bit misleading to me. But it's not just sage doing it...

Infinity is not signed There also +Infinity and -Infinity .

example :

sage: limit(1/x, x=0)
Infinity
sage: limit(1/x, x=0, dir='+')
+Infinity
sage: limit(1/x, x=0, dir='-')
-Infinity

Hi,

I don't get why limit(1/x, x = 0) returns infinity.

Shouldn't it be undefined?

Interestingly, Mathematica also returns infinity, but on Wolfram Alpha it says two-sided limit does not exist.

Is there a way to retrieve the last computed answer? Like Mathematica's % command?

Thanks.
