Sal begins his explanation of limits with a few basic examples and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos. He starts by introducing the notation for limits and describes...

One example is finding the limit as x approaches -1 of (2x+2)/(x+1), solved by simplifying the expression and then explored intuitively by looking at the left and right-hand limits. The second example of finding the limit as x approaches...

Sal explains limits by looking at a basic example of a discontinuous function and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos. He starts by introducing the notation for limits...

Video addresses limits of rational functions that can be simplified by factoring. Also provides examples of how to find the limit of a function as x approaches infinity. Includes link to practice problems. This video is also found in the...

Instructional video explaining the concept of a limit. Does not provide a formal definition of limit. Includes graphical and numerical examples using both a virtual chalkboard and virtual graphing calculator. Includes link to practice...

This video follows from Khan Academy: Sequences and Series (Part 1) and furthers the idea of the basic geometric series. Explains how to find the sum of both a finite and an infinite geometric series. Uses limits to find the sum of an...

Video utilizing the Squeeze Theorem to prove that the limit as x approaches 0 of (sin x)/x is equal to 1. Incorporates trigonometry and the unit circle. Illustrates the result graphically on a virtual graphing calculator. This video is...

Instructional video explaining the Squeeze Theorem. The theorem is first described using a real-life situation, then the theorem is illustrated graphically using three arbitrary functions. Does not include a proof of the theorem. This...

A brief introductory video on the concept of the limit of a function. Does not provide a formal definition for limit. Includes examples illustrated using a virtual chalkboard. [7:38]

Another segment in the series on compound interest and the number e from the Khan Academy. This video begins to derive the formula for interest compounded continuously (A=Pe^rt). Limits are employed to show that the limit of the interest...
