Oftentimes in mathematics, when two objects have the same name, they may be special cases of each other. When one starts to study category theory, they will come across the notion of limits and colimits, with limit being a very familiar term from Calculus, Analysis, and Topology, but the original presentation seems far from the delta-epsilon definition we know and love. This presentation will showcase the seemingly convoluted connection and serve as some introduction to category theory and topology for those who haven't seen it before!
