Graphs of functions are curves in general and some of these curves extend into infinity. But they could be well under our control if they become straight lines at infinity, which have an intercept with at least one of the coordinate axes. This straight line is called an asymptote of the curve. Imagine a snake controlled with the help of a stick! Simply speaking, it is analytically the study of limits which are finite even when the variables tend to infinity. Geometrically, it is a tangent to the curve at infinity. If we take the inverse curve, i.e., 1/x in place of x and 1/y in place of y, it becomes the tangent at origin.The subject is taught both in Pre-Calculus and Calculus courses and the book takes care of both of them. With down to earth oversimplification, and more than 200 solved and answer suggested problems the book is also helpful for entrance examinations for admission to ...
