SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on solving the limit $\lim_{x\to1}\frac{\sin(x^{3}-1)}{x-1}$ without using L'Hôpital's rule. Participants suggest multiplying the numerator and denominator by $x^{2} + x + 1$ to simplify the expression. The key insight is recognizing that $\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\sin (x^{3}-1)}{x^{3}-1} = 1$ and $\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (x^{2} + x + 1) = 3$, leading to the final result of 3. This method effectively circumvents the need for L'Hôpital's rule while providing a clear path to the solution.
