A limit in calculus is our crafty way of getting solutions to problems that either involve infinitesimally small changes or infinitesimally long summations. Think of this as an example: No matter how old or young you are, there is a probability that you'll die tomorrow. However, the probability is never 100%, regardless of how old you are (Unless you're on death row I suppose). You simply don't know for sure. So, theoretically, that would mean you could live forever. Applying a limit to that example, however, would give the definitive answer of 100%.
In calculus, limits are the tools we use to derive the differentiation and integration operations.

Which is harder calculus or applied calculus?
Calculus; by a long shot.
Applications of vector calculus in electrical engineering?
Vector calculus is applied in electrical engineering especially with the use of electromagnetics. It is also applied in fluid dynamics, as well as statics.
What are the practical applications of limits of function?
well derivatives cannt be used without limits so it is application for calculus
How does calculus apply to you?
All electronic devices would not exist without calculus. Engineers would be able to do nothing without calculus, which means everything that we have that we owe to engineers, we owe to calculus as well. Physics would not exist beyond the high school level (which is trigonometry based) without calculus. If you asked this question to help you with a school assignment, here's a good common saying you can use: Calculus is the language of physics. Applied chemistry requires calculus, which means that everything that we owe to applied chemistry, we also owe to calculus.
What is the history of limits in calculus?
newton and Leibniz were first introduced the concept of limit independently
