    This document provides a brief overview of Calculus 1, which covers limits and continuity in single variable calculus. It discusses some of the earliest contributors to the foundations of calculus, including Eudoxus' method of exhaustion, Archimedes' approximations of areas and perimeters, and his estimation that π is between 3 1/7 and 3 10/71.
