Introduction to Differential Calculus · Calculus
Limits and Continuity
Investigating the behavior of functions as they approach specific values or infinity.
Key Questions
- 1What does it mean for a function to approach a limit without actually reaching it?
- 2How can we use the concept of a limit to define the gradient of a curve at a single point?
- 3Why is continuity a prerequisite for differentiability in theoretical mathematics?
