What This Document Is
This is the first written assignment for Calculus I (MATH 180) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It’s designed to assess your understanding of foundational concepts introduced early in the course, and to practice applying those concepts to problem-solving. This assignment focuses on developing a strong base in limit calculations and function analysis. Successful completion demonstrates an ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical application.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is crucial for students enrolled in MATH 180. It provides an opportunity to solidify understanding of core principles that will be built upon throughout the semester. Working through these problems will prepare you for more complex topics in calculus, and help you identify areas where you may need additional review. It’s particularly beneficial to complete this assignment *before* moving on to subsequent coursework, as the concepts are interconnected.
Topics Covered
* Piecewise Functions
* Limit Calculations (one-sided and two-sided limits)
* Evaluating Limits
* Function Sketching
* Limit Laws (application and understanding)
* Algebraic Manipulation for Limit Evaluation
