The video tutorial explains the Squeeze Theorem, a method used to solve limit problems. It begins with an introduction to the theorem, emphasizing its necessity when specified in a problem. The video then provides a detailed explanation of the theorem, including how to establish inequalities and apply them to functions. It covers handling trigonometric functions within limits, particularly focusing on cosine and sine. The tutorial guides viewers through constructing inequalities and solving a limit problem using the Squeeze Theorem. It concludes with a summary and encourages continued learning.
