To epsilon-delta or not to epsilon-delta?

Alright, so I'm putting together the video on limits, and I'm trying to decide if it makes sense to talk about the epsilon-delta definition.  On the one hand, there's something nice about showing...

New Calc video! Derivatives of exponentials

Hello Patrons,

Originally this was just going to be a footnote video, but it scope-creeped its way into a fully fledged chapter.  This stands to reason, given just how important exponential fun...
