1. Limits & Continuity | 极限与连续性

The limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a exists if the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal.

当x趋近于a时，f(x)的极限存在要求左极限与右极限相等。

lim_x→a f(x) = L

A function is continuous at x = a if lim_x→a f(x) = f(a).

函数在x = a处连续需要满足 lim_x→a f(x) = f(a)。

f is continuous at a ⇔ lim_x→a f(x) = f(a)

Special limits include lim_x→0 (sin x)/x = 1 and lim_x→0 (1 – cos x)/x = 0.

重要极限包括 lim_x→0 (sin x)/x = 1 与 lim_x→0 (1 – cos x)/x = 0。

2. Basic Differentiation Rules | 基本求导法则

The derivative of a function f at x is defined as f ‘(x) = lim_h→0 [f(x+h) – f(x)]/h.

Key rules: constant multiple, sum/difference, product, quotient, and chain rule.

核心法则：常数乘、和差、乘积、商以及链式法则。

Rule	Formula
Constant	d/dx [c] = 0
Power	d/dx [xⁿ] = n x^n-1
