Key takeaways
- In this section, we establish laws for calculating limits and learn how to apply these laws.
- In the Student Project at the end of this section, you have the opportunity to apply these limit laws to derive the formula for the area of a circle by adapting a method devised by the Greek mathematician Archimedes.
- Evaluating Limits with the Limit Laws The first two limit laws were stated in Two Important Limits and we repeat them here.
Mind Map — connect the parts of The Limit Laws
The map keeps The Limit Laws in the center, then branches into Limits, Laws to Evaluate, Basic Limit Laws, Apply, Useful Limit Results for quick recall.
- Center node: The Limit Laws
- Branch review: Limits · Laws to Evaluate · Basic Limit Laws · Apply · Useful Limit Results · Evaluate Limits of Many
- Best for a quick structure check before practice questions.
Quiz — check whether The Limit Laws actually sticks
