Sal begins his explanation of limits with a few basic examples and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos. He starts by introducing the notation for limits and describes...

Sal explains limits by looking at a basic example of a discontinuous function and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos. He starts by introducing the notation for limits...

What do Usain Bolt and calculus have in common? Using Usain Bolt as an example of distance traveled over time, Sal shows why you need differential calculus to answer the question of how fast something is traveling at a specific time. He...

Sal defines the term derivative by taking the listener on a well-organized tour of the slope. First, he reviews the concept of the slope of a line from algebra, then extends this idea to look at the slope of the curve by first examining...

Sal continues where he left off with the last video, "Derivatives 1, Ó by looking at the equation y = x^2 and examining the slope of the second line at a specific point, and again defining the limit as x approaches zero to get the slope...

Explore the meaning of the limit of a function as it approaches a given value with a video that explains limits in reference to a derivative. The narrator then shows how to evaluate the limit of a function at a given integer value.

In this video, students learn why we study differential calculus.

Instructional video explaining the concept of a limit. Does not provide a formal definition of limit. Includes graphical and numerical examples using both a virtual chalkboard and virtual graphing calculator. Includes link to practice...

Video lesson introducing l'Hopital's rule as a way to find limits by using derivatives. Gives the formal definition and uses it to solve an example problem. Includes link to additional practice at the top of the video. [8:51]

A brief introductory video on the concept of the limit of a function. Does not provide a formal definition for limit. Includes examples illustrated using a virtual chalkboard. [7:38]

In this lesson students gain more intuition of what a derivative is. Using the derivative to find the slope at any point along f(x)=x^2.

In this video students find the derivative of y=x^2.

In this video, students gain an understanding that the derivative is just the slope of a curve at a point (or the slope of the tangent line).
