| Aug 31 (Fri) | Maple Lab: Functions and Plots | |
| Week 3 (Labor Day - Monday) | ||
| Sep 4 (Tue) | Read section 3.1. There will be a quiz tomorrow on sections 2.1-2.3. | |
| Sep 5 (Wed) | If you missed quiz 2, download a copy and allow yourself around 15 minutes to complete it. Read section 3.2. In class we used the limit definition for a derivative to find that f(x)=x^2 has derivative f'(x)=2x. Use this same approach to find derivatives for f(x)=x^3 and f(x)=x^4. In section 3.2 do #9, 11, 15, 17, 21, 22. | |

| Week 4 | ||
| Sep 11 (Tue) | Read sections 3.4-3.5. In 3.4 do #1-18. In 3.5 do #1-26 and 29. Thursday's test will cover sections 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5. You should know the unit circle well enough to evaluate things like cos(-pi/3), sin(3pi/4), tan(pi/4). You should know how tan(x), cot(x), sec(x), and csc(x) are defined in terms of sin(x) and cos(x). You should have memorized the limit of sin(x)/x as x approaches 0. You should have memorized the limit of (1+1/x)^x as x approaches infinity. For limits you may use "orders of growth" when computing the limit of f(x)/g(x) as x approaches infinity. I've been told that Maple should be available in the Thomas Cooper Library, on all College of Arts and Sciences computers, in the Student Success Center, in LeConte (1st, 3rd, and 4th floors), and in residence halls Patterson (21 computers), Bates House (21 computers), and Columbia Hall(16 computers). Let me know if any location you find has not upgraded from Maple 10 to Maple 11. Most things should still work fine, but I will try to speed up the upgrade. |

| Week 5 | ||
| Sep 18 (Tue) | Read section 3.6 and do from #1-40 from that section. You don't have to formally write out each problem - you should get so good at this that you only need to glance at a problem to decide how to differentiate it. | |
| Sep 19 (Wed) | Continue practicing problems from 3.6. There will be a quiz tomorrow on the chain rule. For homework read section 3.7 very carefully, being sure that understand every line of reasoning from each example. | |

| Sep 26 (Wed) | Read sections 4.2-4.3. Our approach was very different and I will come back to talk about the book's approach later - for now, you can solve the following homework problems based just on what we did in class. Using logarithmic differentiation find the derivative of y=x^x. In 4.2 do #1, 2, 9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 34. In 4.3 do #13, 16, 23, 28. | |

| Oct 2 (Tue) | Thursday's test will cover sections 3.6, 3.7, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 1.5. You should also know all the basic derivative rules including the trig and inverse trig functions. You should know basic trig identities like sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x)=cos^2(x)-sin^2(x). You should know the graphs of all trig and inverse trig functions. | |

| Oct 10 (Wed) | There will be a quiz Tuesday on section 4.4. If you are uncertain about your answers to any even-numbered problems, you can use your calculator to plug in values closer and closer to whichever value x is approaching. See if the calculator values seem to approach the answer you obtained. | |
