Understanding Limits in Calculus

By PZKDQ | University Math

What Is a Limit

Let me explain limits in a way that actually makes sense. A limit asks: what value does a function approach as the input gets closer to some point It is not about what value the function actually takes, but what it is approaching.

This concept is the foundation of calculus itself. Without limits, we would not have derivatives or integrals.
