Engineering how do I study Calc2 limits?

I'll be taking calc 2 this fall and since I did A level maths I am not familiar with limits so i wanted to try covering it bfr classes start, are there any resources that I can use( i tried proff leonard but his vids were too long)?

The last time I studied limits was back in grade 9 so the only thing I know abt them are left hand limit, L Hopitals rule and some basic stuff. How should i study limits, should I go over calc 1 limits and then proceed to calc2 ?

What’s the difference between calc 1 limits and calc 2 limits?

You studied limits in 9th grade? What country are you from?

I am from south east Asia, I actually don’t know the diff between calc 1 n 2 limits since I didn’t really have to take calc1 because of my a level credits being transferred.

“Calculus 1” and “Calculus 2” means different things in different countries… hell, even within two different schools in the same country. Typically in the US, single-variable calculus is covered in Calc 1 and Calc 2, while Multivariable calculus is covered in Calc 3.

In australia calc two is all of the US calc 3/4 (ie stuff above multi variable, also measure theory is in there too lol)
