Mining near-numbers

Our second video, Mining near-numbers, is for those that already know Calculus and have doubts whether this is all legit. If you don't know the definition of limit in Calculus yet, don't worry if this video is confusing—it's a peek way ahead and isn't expected to make complete sense yet!

It is important to point out that nothing of the formal logic of Calculus is changed by near-numbers; what they provide is a far more precise and informative way of writing and thinking about the concepts.  By the time we get to some of the hairier bits, such as indeterminate forms and definitions, you'll see just how true this is.


In our next video, we'll start into near-numbers from the ground up, which is the real starting point for the video series.
