Useful slides and videos for Math 2413
Useful examples for sections 2.1 through 2.4:
Note: I think these are very useful videos; however, nothing is perfect and there could possibly be some errors/mistakes that go unnoticed. If you run into something that doesn't make sense, ask me. Always watch the videos with a critical thinking mindset, always questions every step in the solution, pay careful attention to small details. Is it logical? Is the formula applied appropriately and correctly? Is there an easier way to solve the problem? What is the difference between various examples?
Approximate Areas Using Rectangles: Example 1
Finding Limits Numerically: Example 1, Example 2, Example 3.
Finding Limits from Graphs: Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4
