Litle help understanding the point behind Calculus...
Hi guys! Thanks for any help you can give. I'm in college, taking HS Algebra, not too much of a problem, and am taking College algebra and trig over the summer. I have decided to study calculus from the textbook my college (uw-madison) uses (Thomas' Calculus. Any reviews?) over the summer. Right now, I have pretty much spent the last four or so hours on the first section, discussing limits, and I cannot seem to understand the point behind it. I understand algebra, geometry, and trig, but I can't get what they are talking about when discussing limits. Calculus just seems extremely awkward, I feel as if I am missing something important the whole time. Can someone help me out with this? I probably havn't explained this very well, but any help would be appreciated...
