Limit of a function

The value a function approaches as its input gets closer and closer to a certain value. It describes the behavior of the function near a specific point.

Derivative

The instantaneous rate of change of a function at a specific point. It tells us how fast a function is changing.

Integral

The accumulation of a function over a certain interval. It represents the area under the curve of a function.

Mean

The average of a set of numbers. It is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the total number of values.
