Topic 1.6-Limits of Some Transcendental Functions

The document discusses limits of trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. It defines the six basic circular functions of sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent, and states that they are continuous over their domains. It also defines the natural exponential and logarithmic functions, discusses their properties, and states that they are continuous over their domains. The document provides theorems for evaluating limits of these functions and includes practice problems to solve.
