MAT128: Calculus A

1. Please read Section 1.1 in our text, and carry out Preview Activity 1.1.1 (bring your work to class).

2. Finish up your your first handout from today. You can test your understanding by carrying out your first IMath homework. To get on IMath, go to imath.nku.edu; create an account (if you don't already have one), then sign up for the course MAT128-Spring2022 (Course ID: 491; key: 3.1415926).

1. Please read Section 1.2 in our text, and carry out Preview Activity 1.2.1 (bring your work to class -- I'll be "evaluating" these for real next time!).

2. Finish up your your worksheet from today. You can test your understanding by carrying out your next IMath homework. (See the last assignment, if you're not on IMath yet.)

Also carry out the following two exercises (due next Monday, at 2:00 pm (before class), to submit on Canvas): Section 1.1, #8; Section 1.2, #7.

Your "preview" for Wednesday is to "Explore" two of the "GeoGebra" examples mentioned in this section (there are questions at the end of each); these are the work of Marc Renault, at Shippensburg University:

1. One-sided limits
2. The Derivative at a Point

Also carry out the following two exercises (due next Monday, at 2:00 pm (before class), to submit on Canvas): Section 1.3, #7 and #8.

You will also be submitting your worksheet on Canvas.

You will also be submitting your worksheet on Canvas.

1. Read section 2.7 (Derivatives of functions given implicitly); do the preview and submit prior to class next time.
2. Your chain rule worksheet should be submitted by class on Monday, as well.
3. You have three IMath assignments due prior to your upcoming exam -- one each for the quotient rule, trig rules, and the chain rule. The point of that is to get you some practice computing derivatives. You have unlimited, unpunished attempts, so you should be able to get them all right.
