Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

Read in the blogs more about the unique learning experience at nubtrek.

User Guide

To make best use of nubtrek, understand what is available.

nubtrek is designed to explain mathematics and science for young readers. Every topic consists of four sections.

nub,

trek,

jogger,

exercise.

User Guide

nub is the simple explanation of the concept.

This captures the small-core of concept in simple-plain English. The objective is to make the learner to think about.

User Guide

trek is the step by step exploration of the concept.

Trekking is bit hard, requiring one to sweat and exert. The benefits of taking the steps are awesome. In the trek, concepts are explained with exploratory questions and your thinking process is honed step by step.

User Guide

jogger provides the complete mathematical definition of the concepts.

This captures the essence of learning and helps one to review at a later point. The reference is available in pdf document too. This is designed to be viewed in a smart-phone screen.

User Guide

exercise provides practice problems to become fluent in the concepts.

This part does not have much content as of now. Over time, when resources are available, this section will have curated and exam-prep focused questions to test your knowledge.

The right-hand and left-hand limits are equal for most input values for most functions. This is commonly referred as limit of a function.

Starting on learning "limit of a function". ;; The right-hand and left-hand limits are equal for most input values for most functions. This is commonly referred as limit of a function.

Given that function f(x) evaluates to indeterminate value at x=a. To evaluate the expected value of f(x)|_(x=a), we examine ;

•  Left-hand-limit lim_(x->a-) f(x)

•  Right-hand-limit lim_(x->a+) f(x)

If these two limits are equal then the result is referred as "limit of the function at the input value" lim_(x->a) f(x)

The significance of this is that, most functions have both right-hand-limit and left-hand-limit equal.

Limit of a function: Given function f(x) and that f(x)|_(x=a) = 0/0.
If lim_(x->a+) f(x) = lim_(x->a-) f(x),
then the common value is referred as limit of the function lim_(x->a) f(x).

Exercise

If a function f(x) is discontinuous at x=a, then what is lim_(x->a) f(x)?

• left-hand-limit
• right-hand-limit
• f(a)
• cannot be computed

The answer is 'cannot be computed'. It is given that the function is discontinuous at x=a, and that implies left-hand-limit and right-hand-limits are not equal. In that case, limit of the function cannot be computed without specifying left or right.

Given that function f of x evaluates to indeterminate value at x=a. To evaluate the expected value of f of x at x=a, we examine ;; Left-hand-limit limit x tending to a. minus f of x ;; Right-hand-limit limit x tending to a. plus f of x ;; If these two limits are equal then the result is referred as "limit of the function at the input value" limit x tending to a. f of x ;; The significance of this is that, most functions have both right-hand-limit and left-hand-limit equal.
When left-hand-limit and right-hand-limit are equal, the limits are referred together as limit of a function
Limit of a function: Given function f of x and that f of x at x=a equals 0 by 0.;; If limit x tending to a. plus f of x equals limit x tending to a. minus f of x ;; then the common value is referred as limit of the function limit x tending to a. f of x.
