	Squeeze theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In calculus, the squeeze theorem (also known as the pinching theorem or the sandwich theorem) is a theorem regarding the limit of a function.
		The theorem asserts that if two functions approach the same limit at a point, and if a third function is "squeezed" ("pinched", "sandwiched") between those functions, then the third function also approaches that limit at that point.
		The squeeze theorem is a technical result which is very important in proofs in calculus and mathematical analysis.

	Fundamental theorem of calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fundamental theorem of calculus is the statement that the two central operations of calculus, differentiation and integration, are inverses of each other.
		This theorem is of such central importance in calculus that it deserves to be called the fundamental theorem for the entire field of study.
		An important consequence of this, sometimes called the second fundamental theorem of calculus, allows one to compute integrals by using an antiderivative of the function to be integrated.

		This theorem (Click link for more info and facts about argues) argues that if two functions approach the same limit at a point, and a third function "lies" between those functions; then, the third function also approaches that limit at that point.
		It was first used geometrically by the (A person skilled in mathematics) mathematicians (Greek mathematician and physicist noted for his work in hydrostatics and mechanics and geometry (287-212 BC)) Archimedes and (Click link for more info and facts about Eudoxus) Eudoxus in an effort to calculate (The 16th letter of the Greek alphabet) pi.

	Limits Using the Squeeze Principle
		The Squeeze Principle is used on limit problems where the usual algebraic methods (factoring, conjugation, algebraic manipulation, etc.) are not effective.
		However, it requires that you be able to ``squeeze'' your problem in between two other ``simpler'' functions whose limits are easily computable and equal.
		The use of the Squeeze Principle requires accurate analysis, deft algebra skills, and careful use of inequalities.

		The explanation you have mentioned sounds like a direct proof of the Squeeze Theorem, perhaps applied to the specific functions sin(1/x) and x.
		To prove the squeeze theorem, let E > 0 be given.

		If a function is continuous on a closed interval, then its extreme values on the interval occur at the endpoints of the interval or at the places interior to the interval where the derivative is 0 or not defined.
		If a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable at each point inside the interval, then at some point inside the interval the derivative is equal to the average change in the function over the interval.
		Hint on Proof: The proof of the integral mean value theorem uses the first extreme value theorem, the first evaluation theorem, the comparison property, and the intermediate value theorem.
