There will also be an In-Class Assignment on Tuesday, June 3^rd for which you will have access to your notes. [Covering 9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, 11.1 & 11.2]

Make Up Test

For all those who were absent on Friday:
The opportunity to write your Ch. 8 test will take place on Wednesday, May 28^th during the lunch hour: from 12:14 - 1:14 pm. This will be the only opportunity offered to write that test.

Some information...

• Ch. 8 test is tomorrow
• Assignment # 10 is due Tuesday, May 27th
• On Tuesday, May 27th at 12:30 I will be going over the test for Ch. 7 (Trig Functions)
• This week we have covered sections 8.5-8.6 and 9.1; today we will cover section 9.2 on Differential Equations (with initial conditions)

Ch. 8 Test

There will be a test on Chapter 8 on Friday, May 23^rd (instead of on Thursday, May 22^nd).
Sections 8.1 - 8.6 will be included. These are the topics you should study:

• Laws of Exponents
• Laws of Logarithms
• Exponential Functions (graphs & limits)
• Logarithmic Functions (graphs & limits)
• Finding inverses of exponential and logarithmic functions
• Derivatives of exponential functions
• Derivatives of logarithmic functions
• Applications of exponential growth & decay
• Logarithmic Differentiation

Test Tomorrow

There will be a test tomorrow, May 13^th, on Ch. 7 (Unit 5). These are topics you need to study:

• Limits with Trig Functions
• Derivatives of Trig Functions (sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, & cot need to be memorized!)
• Applications of Derivatives (maximization problems (y'=0), related rates, velocity...)
• Inverse Trig Functions (how to graph them, how to use them to solve problems, limits)
• Derivatives of Inverse Trig Functions (will be given - but need to know how to use them)

So far this week...

There will be a quiz tomorrow (May 8^th) on everything covered until last Wednesday (up to & including section 7.4). Assignment #8 is also due tomorrow.
So far this week, we've covered sections 7.5 & 7.6 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions and their Derivatives. There will be a Unit Test covering Chapter 7 on Tuesday, May 13^th.

Quiz # 4a

Tomorrow (April 16^th) there will be a quiz covering chapter 5 until section 5.3 (classes from Thursday of last week until Monday of this week). Topics included are:

• finding intercepts
• symmetry
• vertical asymptotes
• horizontal asymptotes
• concavity
• points of inflection

There will also be a quiz next Tuesday, April 22^nd covering Unit 4 (Chapter 5).

Midterm: Wednesday

I hope you've all been preparing for your midterm - which is on Wednesday, April 9^th. You will need to memorize the Quotient Rule and other derivative rules in preparing for your midterm. If you have any questions - email me directly.

Quiz

There will be a quiz tomorrow (April 3^rd) covering sections 3.5, 4.1-4.4.
Topics covered: related rates, max./min. problems.

REMINDER: Midterm is on Wednesday, April 9^th

some updates

• Assignment 4 is now due on Friday, March 28^th.
• There will also be a short quiz on Friday covering sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 & 3.4 from your text.
• The course midterm will take place on Wednesday, April 9^th - remember this is worth 10% of your mark; and will cover questions from Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3.

Test Moved

Unit 2 Test will be held on Tuesday, March 18^th.

Upcoming Test

You may or may not have read this on the course calendar, but the test for Unit 2 is scheduled for Monday, March 17^th. Today we looked at section 2.7 - Implicit Differentiation. Only one more topic to cover and we're done Unit 2!

Quiz on Derivatives

The quiz has been moved to tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11th. The quiz will cover finding derivatives using rules up until the Power and Chain Rule. Please reference p. 102 in your text for a summarized list of rules.
Today in class we covered using various rules to find the derivative of one particular function - we went over p. 103 #6 a-f.

Quiz when you get back!

I hope you all enjoy your March Break! Remember there will be a quiz on "derivative rules" when you come back, on March 10^th; Product Rule, Quotient Rule and Chain Rule.

Another Snow Day

As soon as we're back in school - you'll be writing your test. Everything on the calendar will be pushed back by 2 days - so that means Assignment #2 won't be due until the next Monday, which is Feb. 25th, Quiz # 2 will be on Feb. 27th.

Test Postponed

Your test on Unit 1 has been postponed, since school was cancelled today. Be prepared to write your test tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 14th). You have an extra day to study! Spend your time wisely.

Upcoming Test

There will be a test on Wednesday Feb. 13^th, on Chapter 1 (everything we've covered including today's class). Extra help will be available tomorrow (Tuesday) from 12:30 - 1:00 pm.

In class we covered section 1.7 on Infinite Series.

Today in Class...

Today we went over yesterday's quiz.

We also started looking at infinite sequences (section 1.6); this is a bit of a review from last semester.

Assignment #1 is due tomorrow, Feb. 8^th! 10% per day is the penalty for handing it in late.

I've you've checked the calendar, you'll notice that your first test is on Wednesday, February 13^th.

one-sided limits

Today we finished up section 1.2 by looking at functions that are continuous for all x-values, what to do if they are not. We also looked at section 1.3 (One-Sided Limits) and talked about evaluating the limit of a function 'from the left,' and 'from the right.' Sometimes they are equal to each other, and sometimes they are not (when they're not, we say the limit does not exist).

Quiz on Wednesday, Feb. 6th! 2-3 questions on topics we've been discussing in class.
