LEARNING CALCULUS Prepared by: Susan Hermiller, Melanie Martin, Eric York Welcome to the wonderful world of Calculus. In order to help you get the most out of Calculus, we have prepared the following to help you make better use of your study time and to make you aware of some of the resources available for help, if you need it. Some Initial Pointers: Calculus is likely to require that you make a substantial investment of TIME . Probably a minimum of three hours outside class for every hour you spend in class. Build this into your life. You should work on it some everyday, whether you have class or not and whether anything is due or not. One of the advantages of mathematics is that it can be done virtually anywhere, anytime. You can use time when you are in the shower or waiting in line to be thinking about problems or going over new concepts in class. One of the best ways to learn anything is to explain it to someone else. Working in groups is a good way to provide yourself with this opportunity. You can also amaze your friends with careful explanations of, say, all of the different interpretations of the concept of a derivative. Math is not a spectator sport. You will need to actively participate, roll up your sleeves and get that pencil moving. You will also need to move your brain. Expect to have to think about concepts and problems. Some of the problems you will encounter will teach you new techniques: like playing scales in a musical instrument, or running laps around a track. You might not see the point immediately, but they are strengthening you so everything will come together when it counts. Think of them as push-ups for the brain and practice them often. Some problems will require you to think hard and pull concepts together (at this point you will be glad you did your push-ups). Take some time with them, talk about them, take breaks if you are getting frustrated, ask for help if you are stuck, enjoy the process: you are learning.

Topics in Calculus Lee Lady A Conceptual Approach to Applications of Integration The Derivatives of the Sine and Cosine Functions Max-min Problems Max-min Problems for Two Variables ... Review Problems for Differential Equations In my opinion, calculus is one of the major intellectual achievements of Western civilization - in fact of world civilization. Certainly it has had much more impact in shaping our world today than most of the works commonly included in a Western Civilization course books such as Descartes's Discourse on Method or The Prince by Machiavelli. But at most universities, we have taken this magnificent accomplishment of the human intellect and turned it into a boring course. Sawyer's little book What Is Calculus About? (Another book in the same vein, but more recent, is The Hitchhiker's Guide to Calculus by Michael Spivak.) For many of us mathematicians, calculus is far removed from what we see as interesting and important mathematics. It certainly has no obvious relevance to any of my own research, and if it weren't for the fact that I teach it, I would long ago have forgotten all the calculus I ever learned. But we should remember that calculus is not a mere "service course." For students, calculus is the gateway to further mathematics. And aside from our obligation as faculty to make all our courses interesting, we should remember that if calculus doesn't seem like an interesting and worthwhile subject to students, then they are unlikely to see mathematics as an attractive subject to pursue further.

Home Calculus for Beginners Chapter 1 Tools ... Next 1.2 What Is Calculus and Why do we Study it? Calculus is the study of how things change. It provides a framework for modeling systems in which there is change, and a way to deduce the predictions of such models. I have been around for a while, and know how things change, more or less. What can calculus add to that? I am sure you know lots about how things change. And you have a qualitative notion of calculus. For example the concept of speed of motion is a notion straight from calculus, though it surely existed long before calculus did and you know lots about it. So what does calculus add for me? It provides a way for us to construct relatively simple quantitative models of change, and to deduce their consequences. To what end? With this you get the ability to find the effects of changing conditions on the system being investigated. By studying these, you can learn how to control the system to do make it do what you want it to do. Calculus, by giving engineers and you the ability to model and control systems gives them (and potentially you) extraordinary power over the material world. The development of calculus and its applications to physics and engineering is probably the most significant factor in the development of modern science beyond where it was in the days of Archimedes. And this was responsible for the industrial revolution and everything that has followed from it including almost all the major advances of the last few centuries.

48. Why Study Calculus? A Brief History Of Math Explains, in everyday language, the developments in astronomy, math, and physics that contributed to the discovery of differential calculus and its http://www.math.vanderbilt.edu/~schectex/courses/whystudy.html

Why Do We Study Calculus? or, a brief look at some of the history of mathematics an essay by Eric Schechter version of August 23, 2006 The question I am asked most often is, "why do we study this?" (or its variant, "will this be on the exam?"). Indeed, it's not immediately obvious how some of the stuff we're studying will be of any use to the students. Though some of them will eventually use calculus in their work in physics, chemistry, or economics, almost none of those people will ever need prove anything about calculus. They're willing to trust the pure mathematicians whose job it is to certify the reliability of the theorems. Why, then, do we study epsilons and deltas, and all these other abstract concepts of proofs? Well, calculus is not a just vocational training course. In part, students should study calculus for the same reasons that they study Darwin, Marx, Voltaire, or Dostoyevsky: These ideas are a basic part of our culture; these ideas have shaped how we perceive the world and how we perceive our place in the world. To understand how that is true of calculus, we must put calculus into a historical perspective; we must contrast the world before calculus with the world after calculus. (Probably we should put more history into our calculus courses. Indeed, there is a growing movement among mathematics teachers to do precisely that.)

In the midst of this controversy, Doug Reilly chimed in with a post entitled " Who is responsible for your career? ". Doug's post got a lot of reads and links, including well-said "amen posts" from Sam Gentile and Robert Hurlbut While I don't care to debate the issue of PDC pricing, I do want to affirm the concept of taking responsibility for our own careers. Often we choose to focus on the things which are outside our control. But the truth is that our career path is largely determined by our own choices. I've known and worked with lots of developers, and I have noticed one thing which separates those with great careers from everybody else. Developers with outstanding careers understand a secret that seems to elude the majority: Focus on the first derivative.

Students demonstrate knowledge of both the formal definition and the graphical interpretation of limit of values of functions. This knowledge includes one-sided limits, infinite limits, and limits at infinity. Students know the definition of convergence and divergence of a function as the domain variable approaches either a number or infinity: 1.1 Students prove and use theorems evaluating the limits of sums, products, quotients, and composition of functions. 1.2 Students use graphical calculators to verify and estimate limits. 1.3 Students prove and use special limits, such as the limits of (sin(x))/x and (1-cos(x))/x as x tends to 0. Students demonstrate knowledge of both the formal definition and the graphical interpretation of continuity of a function. Students demonstrate an understanding and the application of the intermediate value theorem and the extreme value theorem.

Quadric Surfaces If your browser displays incorrect colors after animation playback, look here Limits The statement can be intuitively interpreted as follows: the number L is approached by the function values f(x) corresponding to x values that approach c Two examples are illustrated: Slope vs. Derivative The top graph depicts the given function, and a triangle illustrating the rise corresponding to the run=1. As the animation advances, the triangle moves along the graph, and the rise/run values are used to create the derivative graph underneath. Note that the positive rise/run values are indicated in green; negative values are indicated in red. This animation can be viewed for the following functions: Arc Length The arc length of the graph of y=f(x) from x=a to x=b can be defined using the the length of a polygonal approximation to the graph. The first example illustrates a sequence of polygonal approximations of a rectifiable curve, i.e., a curve with a finite arc length. In the second example, the curve has infinite length.
