New Video Resources

I have found some new calculus tutorial videos on the web that may be helpful for some. You can find them here. I have also added a list called "Blogging Tutorials" that might be helpful in doing various things in your blogs. Today I added a tutorial on how to create a link to a resource in your blog posts. The video is also embedded here for your convenience.



If you have any other suggestions for topics, let me know.

Test Tomorrow!

Don't forget (and I'm sure you haven't) that we have a test tomorrow. If you think you need extra time, you can start the test any time during the lunch period. Hint: My tests may not be difficult, but you may find them lengthy.

You should know:
1) Finding limits using your calculator
2) Finding limits from graphs of piecewise functions
3) Finding limits by applying the properties of limits
4) Finding limits of functions algebraically using:
a. Factor and cancel
b. Rationalizing
c. Simplifying fractions
5) Graphing piecewise defined functions and finding limits using the graphs
6) Finding limits of trig functions using the two basic trig limits

You should have the Point Point presentation and Larson Calculus 7.0 Sections 1.2 and 1.3.

Please let me know if you have any questions. See you tomorrow!

Welcome to the new school year. I look forward to working with you all. It is going to be a great year and we are all going to learn a lot. Better still, it will be over before you know it and you all will be heading off to college. Let's all value the little time we have together and make it a successful year for everyone!

The AB class now has it's own blog site. It can be found here.
