Module 2
THE IDEA OF LIMITS
AND CONTINUITY
, Intended learning
outcomes
At the end of this lesson, every student should be able to
Relate the idea of function with everyday activity
Evaluate limits of several functions
Construct and investigate graphs of a function.
, History
Pierre de Fermat (1601-65)
French mathematician, born in Beaumont-de-Lomagne. In his youth
his friend the French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal, he mad
series of investigations into the properties of figurate numbers. From
studies Fermat later derived an important method of calculating
probabilities. He was also greatly interested in the theory of number
made several discoveries in this field. For these contributions some
him the father of the modern theory. He anticipated differential calc
his method of finding the greatest and least ordinates of curved line
