limits are silly, all you're doing is guessing that a value is being approached given some arbitrary starting point. how can calculus be taken seriously like this? you think it's approaching h such that h is a value that's near x since you're basically just trying to cancel x with itself but don't want to get a division by zero situation. what a joke.

It works. And if you don't think it works, have fun in mathematics without calculus.

everyone for over a thousand years managed to use math just fine without asspulling "hurr look we're ALMOST here somewhere, ergo we are."
it's so ironic to hear people praise calculus for making a rigorous model that generalizes all the dozens of parlor trick methods for finding the volumes of saddle shapes or the acceleration of an object, yet it relies on the idea of "approaching" a value. at least with methods of exhaustion you know what values you approach but with this it's just a guess.

>we're ALMOST here somewhere, ergo we are
it doesn't say that though. the function could have a hole at x, yet the limit as h approaches x can still exist.

look up the epsilon delta definition and then go the fuck back to high school.

Let me guess,
you just failed your pre-calculus in High School.

>converging upside down Ls somehow makes it less of a guess
lmao this shit is supposed to be taken seriously?
Joshua Morris
not gonna lie, did the standard math progression for an engineer at a reputable state uni and was never comfortable with limits
Luis Richardson
If your so booty blasted about limits, then go learn calculus with infinitesimals.
Landon Ross
that's because mathematics for engineers is never rigorous, regardless of which university you go to
ergo you've never actually learned what limits are
