Limits and
Continuity The two sites above were created at Harvey Mudd College as a part of their Mathematics Online Tutorial. The first section, Computing Limits, includes an intuitive discussion as well as a technical discussion of what a limit is. It also includes practice problems with answers for students to try. Properties of limits are also discussed and a box including the "Key Concepts" can be found at the end of the section. The second section, Continuity, covers continuity at a point and includes proofs of most of the material. Again, a "Key Concepts" box can be found at the end of the section. Both sections include illustrations which demonstrate the information being proven. These sites are very helpful and I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with Limits and/or Continuity.

| S.O.S. Math
- Limits and Continuity S.O.S. Math is a mathematics help site created by Math Medics, L.L.C. They have put together an extensive collection of tutorials to help students with various mathematical topics. The link above will take you to the first in a series of pages on Limits and Continuity. After finishing the lesson contained on the first pages, you can continue with more lessons on derivatives by clicking the NEXT link at the bottom of their page. This sequence of pages covers the following topics: Introduction and Basic Definitions, Some Basic Properties, Squeeze Theorem (NOTE: They call it the Pinching Theorem but it's the same!!), Limits and Infinity, and Continuity The formatting of this site is well done and the graphics are excellent. Most sections include some type of exercises which you can use as practice or as extra examples of the topics covered. |
