~~META:title=Chapter 1~~ ~~NOTOC~~ \\ ===== The Limit of a Function ===== {{youtube>fjlbU9mra_U}} //Section 1.5 in Stewart's Calculus.//\\ \\ __**Preclass Learning Objectives:**__ \\ * The limit at an x-value describes the y-value the function "approaches" at that x-value.\\ * Graphical intuition for limits.\\ * Two-sided limits depend on both one-sided limits.
