Notes from April 30 - Introduction to Limits




Today, we were introduced to limits. At the moment, it's a calculator-heavy concept, but we eventually will learn to do evaluate them without the calculator.

The actual definition of a limit will not be pleasing right now, but for now, we have an "intuitive" definition:

lim f (x) = L
x -> c
where for x values "close" to c, the y values are "close" to L.
