Can Change Happen in an Instant?
Not yet publishedplanned runtime 11–15 min
A speedometer reads 60 at a single instant — but speed needs two moments to measure. The paradox that forces a genuinely new idea: the limit.
What this chapter covers
- explain why instantaneous rate of change requires a limiting process
- read and write limit notation, including one-sided limits
- estimate an instantaneous rate by shrinking the measuring interval
