MATH 221 { 1st SEMESTER CALCULUS LECTURE NOTES VERSION 2.0 (fall 2009) This is a self contained set of lecture notes for Math 221. The notes were written by Sigurd Angenent, starting from an extensive collection of notes and problems compiled by Joel Robbin. The LATEX and Python les
Limits are a very powerful tool in mathematics and are used throughout calculus and beyond. The key idea is that a limit is what I like to call a \behavior operator". A limit will tell you the behavior of a function nearby a point.
The essential point of calculus is to see this same pattern in “continuous time.” It’s not enough to look at the total or the change every hour or every minute. The distance and speed can be changing at every instant.
Lecture 3: introduction to limits. Calculus I, section 10 September 12, 2023. 1. Introduction to limits. Now that we’ve finished our lightning review of precalculus and functions, it’s time for our first really calculus-based notion: the limit.
• We will use limits to analyze asymptotic behaviors of functions and their graphs. • Limits will be formally defined near the end of the chapter. • Continuity of a function (at a point and on an interval) will be defined using limits.
limits when the function involves division by 0. For example f(x) = (x4+x2+1)=xneeds to be investigated more carefully at x= 0. You see for example that for x= 1=1000, the function is slightly larger than 1000. We can simplify it to x3 + x+ 1=xfor x6= 0. There is no limit lim x!0 f(x) because 1=xhas no limit. 3.7. Example. Also, for sin and cos ...
Introduction to limits. Now that we’ve finished our lightning review of precalculus and functions, it’s time for our first really calculus-based notion: the limit. This is really a very intuitive concept, but it’s also kind of miraculous and lets us do some very powerful things.
