Limits and Limit Laws in Calculus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2018
- In introducing the concept of differentiation, we investigated the behavior of some parameter in the limit of something else approaching zero or infinity. This concept of limits is how calculus got started. As the field developed, new techniques arose such that we don't have to find limits very often anymore, but we still use them sometimes, so let's make sure we know what they are, how they work, and how to evaluate them!

Trying to do calculus online for a college course where the professor only teaches what's literally in the book (no further explanations)
This was so helpful!!!
You are the best teacher.
Please do not leave this channel ever
I really consider you as my mentor because u are unfolding the fundamentals
exactly. none in the world teaches like him. beautiful explanation indeed!!!
i'm putting a giant portrait of Dave in my living room. I will stare at it everyday
Dave, you truly have no limits.
I've been wondering about why the formal definition of a continuous involves a limit for such a long time, and the epsilon-delta definition didn't help either, but this video lecture really made it crystal clear to me. Thanks so much.
he knows a lot about science stufffff, science jesus explains
this is mostly math
@@lits0_042 but math is science
@@satrickptar6265 no, one helps the other

Thank god. I thought I lost Professor Dave since last semester. Just subscribed so the search is way easier. Good stuff on this channel. And for whatever reason it’s also a fun channel which makes learning easier.
This is a very clear explanation. Thanks Professor Dave.
You are good at explaining Professor Dave. Thankyou!
Random trivia: One of the examples in this video is that limit x-> 0 of sin(x)/x = 1. Seems simple here using a graph or calculator, but this is one of the most important “facts” in all of math. Not necessarily in this form, but in equivalent forms such as the idea that if x is “small”, sin(x) is approximately equal to x.
Engineer Theorem??
@@krishnannarayanan8819physics use it too
you are very good at explaining all science stuff thank you professor Dave
Congrats! You explained it very well.
Thank you sir your all videos have cleared my concepts! 😊
He explains great

Where is the comprehension check?
Very nicely explained!! 👍
Professor dave is just so good and all rounder in field of science.
The first question of why don't we just plug the value in is exactly what I was wondering.
Wow, this was amazing! Thanks Professor
Thank you professor!
Love this!
None other than you can teach like this😊.. you're amazing and unique 👌don't know how many times i passed the exam by watching your videos🤝🤝
Very very kind. Thank you
Thank you sir
dang i wish i watched this video before my 1st exam.
your videos are awesome sir. I think you are referring to stewart calculus book for example problems....
Could you please make a video about the precise definition of limits ( epsilon and delta) thank you in advance!

People who disliked this video have no limits
That was such a help 😫 thanks sm
Making a limit table is satisfying for some reason
Professor Dave here, let's take about limits 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Your helped me to pass in my exam.
Thank you❤
amazing teacher
Thank you!
I have to say Dave used the word parameter incorrectly; this word means either a constant such as a particles mass, or it can mean a function of two other functions such as if we parametrized the unit circle for t and said y=sin(t) and x=cos(t)
Thank you
8:45 Lim f(x)=6
Lim g(x)=2
Then it goes to lim[f(x)-3g(x)] =6-3(2)=0
Why is g(x) now being multiplied by 3, instead of 6-2=4?
thank you
YESS FINALLY I GOT IT THANK U SO MUCH
excellent way of explaining. I got amazed with your explanation and did lot of calculus sums. Sir I will be sending very special 4 questions through email to you. Please be kind enough to reply. Interestingly waiting for your explanation . Thanks
its time for summer courses again. that means all prof dave all the time
✨Thank you, Sir, 🙏🌺✨
Math is not taught tha way in our school.... They just give the rule and u memorise.... Thank you sir
There are no limits for science jesus!
i think they teach that in high schools here in canada, its good to understand them before i get there :):):)
6:00, is that the unit step function
My tiny brain is going to expload 😆
He knows a lot about different stuff, science Jesus here explains !^_^
Anybody know what program he used to create these videos? Also what program do I need to "record" the videos or are they automatically recorded by the same program? Thanks!
can you tell me what aplication you use draw all graph?
prof..... how about accumulation of point?
Sir upload video over contuinity please help me sir.....
I like your videos
i need to know how many of that shirt you have. and if it is 1 what happens if it gets worn out?
Good explanation about limits, but you didn't delve into the important limits or methods about calculating limits, which aren't just f(a) (like factoring highest powers in denominator and numerator or 1/infinity 1/0 forms, which are considered as 0 and +inf)
Min 10:25 I was thinking why not just graphic the function but now, i get why not
So a limit just tells us what a function would normally do as x approaches a value on the x axis rit? ( Pls correct me if I am wrong)
yep!
This is perhaps the most important thing I learned from the video...Like the idea wasn't exactly conceptualized before I started taking in the laws. Thanks!
I WILL PAY YOU ASAP DAVE THE MATH DEMANDS MY LUCK MUST CHANGE
Proffecer:"0/0 could be doing anything" 🤣
3:00 no one ever told me that, thanks
Discontinuity
You should have mentioned that both limits need to exist for the limit of a sum to be the sum of the limits (if they don't exist the sum can still have a limit).
Done.
you had me at x
Wait. Since when are limits defunct? I thought they replaced infinitesimals in calculus
well they still have application, it's just that we don't need them to take derivatives.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains oooh ok. Thanks
I don't see why laws 6 and 8 require a positive integer for n.
For example I could plug in 0 for n and don't see where an error happens.
Clarification would be much appreciated!
What if the limit is 0? 0^0 is 0/0 and you cannot divide by 0!
Little algebra: 2^2 is 2 * 2, 2^1 is 2, thus 2^0 is 2/2
in addition, roots are 1/n powers. The square root of 4 is 2, since 2^2 is 4. What times itself 0 times yields a number? How do you multiply 0 times? This would be the 1/0 power, or multiplying infinite times if we choose to evaluate the limit of 1/x approaching 0. Thus the second rule does not hold for 0
see how this logic cannot be applied for the last 2
@@erikawwad7653 Hi Erik, i didn't raise any complains about law 7) so no worries concerning the 1/n powers. :)
As for your excellent question "What times itself 0 times yields a number?" I agree, that this doesn't make sense. But that does not mean that b^0 is undefined.
You are correct that for a positive exponent b^n is equivalent to the product of n times b.
However, the power b^n also has a reciprocal 1/(b^n). It is also be written as: b^(-n)
Now what is b^2 * b^3? It is b^5
This actually generalises:
b^n * b^m = b^(n+m)
And now you might answer what:
b^n * b^(-n) is equal to.
Dave has a great video about that as well btw: ua-cam.com/video/K_TD9GuP9uQ/v-deo.html
Ahh, so even though f(0) = 1 when x>= 0, the limit of f(0) depends on the direction, since the limit of f(x) is not always = f(x)
Sir what happens if we get 0/0 instead of - 1/11??pls reply
0/0 is not a fixed value and is undefined as 0/0 can be 1,2,3 all the way up to infinity as anything multiplied by 0 is 0
So it's like a void
In plain English.. it's undefined
I just agree to all the roses below
I am from India 👍🔥☺️
5:29 AAAAGHHH IT'S ALL 0.017!!!
Infinitesimal
I wrote it.
These are great information but the videos are not organized making things hard
lol i just realized singularity in a black hole is the same thing as discontinuity here
Great explanations but too short and vague,difficult to catch up due to overloading new words in a short time .please be slow and go thoroughly
U wanna learn more?
????
Refer a calculus book by stewart
I felt I was the only one seeing it this way. I don't think I got so much out of this particular video
So, Acillies,DOES beat the tortoise. Nice
i know this may sound dumb but couldent you find out what 1/0 is based on this
lim x=>0 f(x)=1/x would that not = infinity?
Wtf is wrong with the 10 ppl who disliked????
The real dificulty is that we are using physical law and logic to measure a sensitive being of truth and super natural reality. In graph we can draw and the graph would touch but in uncertainty priciple Prime chemistry and quantum probabilty it is imposible to touch the face Prime God
What
Why did this take 3 weeks in Calculus class? No offense Garry, but I think Dave is smarter than you.
only watch this for the intro
It really doesn't get more boring than this.
Yada yada yada.
Unless you learn what is and how to eliminate the "averaging error" during differentiation you have learned calculus as a religion, and not as a science. BTW never mention 0/0. Its about as respectable as invoking God in science.
I'm not sure that you know what a religion is. Math can never be religion, because math does not contain dogma. Math also is not a science, so I'm not sure you know what science is either. Never mention zero over zero? I have no idea what you're talking about.
You just reveled to people that you are dumb
