What is a gyre? Where would you find one?
A gyre is a vortex of gas or liquid.
In terms of oceanography (since that is where this question has been asked) it refers to any large system of rotating ocean currents.
A classic illustration would be the North Atlantic Gyre, which travels north along the North American coast before flowing east, south, and west along the edge of the tropics.

A gyre is a large system of circulating ocean currents. You would find gyres in major ocean basins, such as the North Atlantic Gyre or the South Pacific Gyre.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
