Limits and Trigonometric Functions

Anil Kumar introduces a series on limits of trigonometric functions, discussing basic limit concepts and formulas. He provides three examples: the limit of sine MX over sine NX, the limit of tan X minus sine X over sine cube X, and the limit of sine 2X plus sine 6X over sine 5X minus sine 3X. Each example is solved step-by-step, emphasizing the use of trigonometric identities and limit laws. The video aims to enhance understanding of evaluating limits involving trigonometric functions.
