You guys rock!

+1 Thanks for clarification.

+1. You are awesome. Now, I need to sit and digest this concept. I understand bit and pieces but now I need to put everything together.

wow. this sounds way too complicated for me. i am now feeling that i know so little about limits :( can you please explain me in simple terms?

Thanks for your reply. I understand that delta v = new v minus old v but the thing I don't understand is "if v is continuous then v(x+Δx)→v(x) as Δx→0." can you explain this statement. I understand that as delta x approaches zero, delta new v is same as old v but what does he bring...

In the below video from approx. 12:00 onwards while explaining the proof for Quotient Rule, Mr. Miller says that while delta x approaches zero, delta v approaches zero. Can someone explain me why is that? Thanks a lot!

I don't know I find it difficult to recollect the material from previous chapters. When I read the material I understand it but if I come back to the material after few days, it is as if I never read that material. My memory is very poor and I am frustrated.

Thanks all for your wonderful tips. I am in my late 30s and taking this class. I am highly motivated but unable to spend time with my full-time job and calculus. Also, I need to work on memory. Any tips you can offer? I always get stressed out or get anxious while reading and I am not sure...

Thank you. By ivy league I mean, MIT, harvard, princeton etc. So, honors calculus problems are much tougher than the problems in the exercises of Stewart?

I do understand the overall concept. My problem is the problems in the exercises where I get stuck up. Do I need to be able to solve those to be well prepared for advanced classes like Calc 2 and Calc 3.

Hi All: I am taking Calc 1 at a community college and we are using Calculus by James Stewart 7th edition. I am able to do homework problems that are assigned to us which are only a small subset of problems from end of the chapter exercises. However, we are not doing any of the remaining...
