Such a simple word, yet such a complex concept. Limits are, in my opinion, the gateway to calculus; mathematics before limits deals in the absolute, the explicit - two twos make four, the value of a function at an x yields a y, and so on. Calculus is the mathematics of change; therefore, it is fitting that limits, which deal with approaching values, constitutes the beginning of most calculus courses.
Overview
This short online lesson will comprise of several parts:
The definition of a limit
The difference between a limit and its explicit value
When a limit exists and when it does not exist
The different ways to solve limits, with examples.
Expected knowledge
Since evaluation of limits is usually found in the beginning of a calculus course, any knowledge obtained in Trignometry/Math Analysis, Alegbra II and I, and Geometry is expected to be known.
