Chapter 2 Limits
This chapter introduces the fundamental idea of calculating limits in order to calculate the tangent slope of a curve, the instantaneous velocity of a moving object, the instantaneous rate of growth of a population, and other rates of change.
The second key concept is continuity of a function: a nice property of many but not all common functions that makes limits easy to compute.
