Basic Calculus Notes

This document provides definitions and concepts related to basic calculus including: - Functions can be one-to-one, many-to-one, or onto depending on if elements in the domain map to one or more elements in the codomain. - Derivatives represent the slope of the tangent line of a function at a point and can be found using rules like the product rule and quotient rule. - Limits describe the behavior of a function as it approaches a value and follow properties like the limit of a sum equals the sum of the limits. - Discontinuities can be essential or removable depending on if the limit exists at that point.
