- In calculus, we study the asymptotic behavior of functions as they approach infinity.
- Asymptotic analysis is used in computer science to analyze the efficiency of algorithms.
- In statistics, the asymptotic distribution describes the behavior of sample statistics as sample size increases indefinitely.
- In physics, certain physical processes exhibit asymptotic behavior as they approach equilibrium or singularity points.
