Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamental concepts of calculus in this comprehensive 2.5-hour tutorial on evaluating limits. Begin with an introduction to Zeno's Paradox and progress through the definition of limits, right- and left-hand limits, and vertical asymptotes. Examine trigonometric functions like tan(x) and sec^2(x), and analyze asymptotes in rational functions. Master the limit laws and their applications to polynomials and rational functions. Delve into the Squeeze Theorem and continuity, including its properties and potential failures. Conclude with an exploration of the Intermediate Value Theorem, gaining a solid foundation in calculus principles and problem-solving techniques.
