Section 6.3 Limits of the form nonzero over zero:
I really like that you devoted a section of the book to this topic. I have a couple of comments. The first one is minor, about wording.
In your definition of the infinite limit, you say
"...the limit of f(x) approaches infinity as x goes to a."
To me, this does not sound right. The limit does not approach infinity. The limit is infinity.
I would say that the words
"...the limit of f(x), as x approaches a, is infinity"
are defined to mean
"...the values of f(x) go to infinity as x approaches a"
The reason I like this better is that the words
are an exact translation into prose of the notation lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) = \infty
