Limits in Calculus
A limit is the height a function intends to reach. If a graph does not break at a given x value, then there is a limit at that interval. Watch and listen to the tutorials on the first three Web sites to learn about limits and when they exist. For each section, you can either continue on or replay it if you need further clarification of the topic.
When you feel you have a good understanding of limits, go to the last Web site. Choose "Calculus Book I," then option 2 "Limits and Continuity," then option 1 "Ordinary Limits," and finally option 2 "Basic Limits." Complete each problem on paper and enter your answer on the site. Check to see if your answer is correct. Make any necessary corrections on your paper. Continue on until you have completed 5 problems correctly. Turn your paper in showing all of your work.
