Lesson 8 – One-sided limits of functions. Continuity of functions.

In this lesson I present several new topics connected with function limits – one-sided limits, cases where a function limit does not exist at all, and finally the notion of function continuity itself.
I’ll show what to do when a function has no limit at all. You’ll see that continuity problems are usually the easiest limit problems – and why that is so.
