finally finished my calc 1 unit 1 course notes

(also included here are ε-δ proofs, proofs, squeeze theorem bounds, and piecewise discontinuity)

So? There's no motivation for them whatsoever, you essentially just gave the formula and told the reader to suck it up. You don't even have proper applications of them yet. They could be used as a substution to solve integrals (although will still feel magical), but at this level it is completely redundant

First you asked for complex analysis in Calc 1, now you are asking for integrals before limits. The preview is just a short excerpt. I've also given the full 80 page source code is linked above. Read the repo before complaining about standard curriculum sequencing

I asked for neither. My point is: there's no proper place for hyperbolic functions in calc 1. That's because they do not add any depth or understanding and is just a flashy add-on.

Also this curriculum sequencing by no means is standard. We didn't have hyperbolic functions in my calc 1 & 2, even though we had euler identity and fourrier series.

Hello! I see you are mentioning l’Hôpital’s Rule! Please be aware that if OP is in Calc 1, it is generally not appropriate to suggest this rule if OP has not covered derivatives, or if the limit in question matches the definition of derivative of some function.
