Introduction to Calculus

The Area Problem The red line is a straight line. What is the area of the shape?

The Area Problem The red line is a parabola. What is the area of the shape?

Formulas

Ellipse

Cubic

Root

The Slope Problem What is the slope of this line?

The Slope Problem What is the slope of this line…

The Slope Problem Slope doesn’t really make sense for graphs other than straight lines But we can find something similar

The Slope Problem This is called the tangent line It touches the curve at only one point We then determine the slope of the tangent line

The “divide by zero” problem

The Proof Problem = 6 which is a multiple of = 27 which is a multiple of = 306 which is a multiple of 3 But is this always true?

The Proof Problem We want to investigate the “area”, “slope”, and “divide by zero” problems But we need to do so systematically This will require you to learn how to construct proofs A proof is a general argument for why a statement is true

Example

Proof Techniques Proofs will involve the following: ◦Technical language (definitions) ◦Algebra ◦Other results (Theorems) ◦Clever insights You should understand the proofs and commit them to memory

Notes Calculators will not be allowed during tests or the final exam. Assignments need to be handed in on or before the due date. No late assignments will be accepted. Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off during tests and the final exam. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to borrow the notes from another student. There will not be any makeup tests available in this course. If an emergency arises, documentation (e.g. doctor’s note, obituary, etc.) must be provided before your final exam may be weighted to compensate for the missed test.
