Limits of Functions - Single-Variable Calculus (Undergraduate Foundation)
Limits of Functions - Single-Variable Calculus (Undergraduate Foundation)
This course provides a rigorous introduction to the concept of the limit, the theoretical bedrock upon which all of calculus is built. We will move from an intuitive understanding of what it means for a function to 'approach' a value to the algebraic techniques required for precise evaluation. The course covers the limit laws, methods for handling indeterminate forms, and the behavior of functions at infinity. Understanding limits is non-negotiable for any serious study of calculus. The principles developed here are not merely abstract; they are the tools used to formally define the core concepts of calculus that are used to model the mechanics of change that govern engineering, physics, economics, and computer science. By the end of this course, you will be able to: evaluate limits graphically, numerically, and algebraically; apply the Squeeze Theorem and L’Hôpital’s Rule; analyse the end-behavior of functions; and identify vertical and horizontal asymptotes. This course is designed for first-year undergraduates in STEM fields who are beginning their calculus sequence. It is an essential prerequisite for subsequent courses on continuity and differentiability and is also invaluable for any student or professional seeking to rebuild their mathematical foundation from first principles.

[FUTA, Akure] MTS 102: Introductory Mathematics II
[FUTA, Akure] MTS 102: Introductory Mathematics II
This learning track is structured for first-year students at the Federal University of technology, Akure (FUTA) and mirrors the standard second-semester coverage of elementary calculus. It begins with single-variable functions and their graphs, then walks learners through limits, continuity, differentiation techniques, and curve sketching—just as covered in the official MTS 102 outline. You’ll also explore anti-derivatives and integration, learning both the techniques and how to apply them to solve practical problems in science and engineering contexts. Everything is broken down into short, focused video lessons that keep things clear and manageable, especially for students who might be engaging this content for the first time. If you're not a FUTA student but need to build a solid foundation in these same topics, this track can serve you just as well. The structure and explanations are universal, ensuring that learners with similar academic goals can benefit fully.

[UNILAG, Akoka] MTH 102: Elementary Mathematics II
[UNILAG, Akoka] MTH 102: Elementary Mathematics II
This learning track is designed to guide first-year students at the University Of Lagos through key concepts in calculus, beginning with the fundamentals of single-variable functions and their graphs. It builds gradually into the core topics of limits, continuity, and differentiability, with each course tailored to simplify these foundational ideas for early learners. The focus is not just on theory but also on building the skill to solve problems confidently, especially those typically encountered in university-level exams. You’ll move from understanding the concept of a limit to mastering how derivatives work and how to apply them to sketch curves and analyze function behavior. Although built for UNILAG students, this track is suitable for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of introductory calculus at the university level. Whether you're preparing for school assessments or seeking a solid refresher, this track will help you follow a structured path.
