    I studied Calculus some 50 years ago during my high school years and later heavily used it during my college time. Since graduation, I had not used it and so I had almost forgotten how to prove it using limit theory. Recently I wanted to teach my son on Calculus. So, I watched your video and found your explanation very easily to understand. Thank you.

    How do you prove that the tan area is larger than the sector area? Since the sector is curved?

    • @lautamn9096
      @lautamn9096 Рік тому +2

      Because tan area is containing sector area and also sector area doesnt fill the tan area. Thats why this theorem only works with theta approaching 0 i.e. very small angles

    • @jimhaskell5485
      @jimhaskell5485 2 місяці тому

      That is technically circular reasoning. L'Hopital's rule requires you to take the derivative of sine. The derivative of sine relies on the limit we are trying to prove here.

  • @daringd2147
    @daringd2147 8 місяців тому

    Hey it's just a thought but we know sinx for very small values of x is similarly equal to x, right. Then the limit would be lim x-> 0 (x/x) . We can cancel out the x and get 1. Can this be a ideal solution though ?

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  8 місяців тому +1

      I would say the fact that sinx is similar to x near 0 is proven by this limit, certainly not the other way around!

    Nicely done! It's been nearly four decades, but I'm pretty sure this is how I learned it from Apostol. (The book, not the man; he'd retired from teaching freshmen the year before.)

      Thanks Tom! This is always how I have seen it done in textbooks, though I've never had the pleasure of reading Apostol! I've been shopping for his books recently, they're just so expensive.

    Is there any proof for the order of areas?

    • @PapaBavarian
      @PapaBavarian 10 місяців тому

      Good question, and this part of the otherwise excellent proof here is guilty of 'hand waving.' But yes, the best way is to do a proof by contradiction. Just assume that the order of the areas are not as he states and you'll find contradictions which will prove that the area inequalities are valid!
