  3. Read Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and write a 100 word summary of 6.1
 

General Goals for the class:

Section 4.8 covers some rather difficult theoretical material. The easy part is L'Hopital's Rule which allows to find limits of things whose limits are obvious. The theoretical underpinnings of the rule are the crux of the chapter. It is nicely wrapped up in the sub-section called "Using Local Linearity to Find Limits"
