Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon explains that any number divided by zero does not exist.}
{Garfield imagines the function f(x)=x², and notes that the limit of the function as x approaches a is equal to the function value at a.}
{Jon and Garfield panic as they discuss the limit of the functions 1/x as x approaches 0 and x as x approaches infinity, which do not exist.}
{Garfield defines the derivative of a function.}
{Garfield wonders if Lagrange's and Leibniz's notations are valid.}
{Jon indefinitely integrates 3x²+3dx to get x³+3x. Garfield corrects Jon by adding the constant of integration.}

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This strip's transcript was hit with mojibake errors in a later site recoding effort; the original transcript unaffected by mojibake is currently lost to the public due to this.
