http://www.dragonometry.net Mr. Murphy's Calculus Classes. en-us http://dragonometry.net Today we continued to work with our TI program for Newton's Method, Lesson 4.7. Our complete assignment is #1-8 We also discussed our quiz over Lesson 4.6, which we will take tomorrow.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we introduced our last lesson of the year before final exam prep. We worked in Lesson 4.7 with Newton's Method. After discussing the lesson, we computed a few solutions by hand, then began programming our graphing calculators with this program to automate the process. Tonight, students are assigned to do #3 by hand. Tomorrow in class we'll compute some other solutions with the program.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we took our quiz over Lesson 8.3, partial fractions. There was no additional assignment, but make sure you have your l'Hopital's Rule work done :)

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we continued to work on our assignment from Lesson 4.6 and reviewed for our 8.3 quiz tomorrow.

]]> http://dragonometry.net The AP test is history and we are back at it! Today we worked in Lesson 4.6 with l'Hopital's Rule. The assignment is from p. 323, #1-4, 7-10, 15-17, 27, 37, 41, 47.

]]> http://dragonometry.net With many of our students out takin gthe AP test (fingers crossed!), we spent the period working on the partial fractions problems from yesterday.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we wrapped up our prep for the AP test, which is tomorrow. We also revisited partial fractions and added to our existing assignment: #4, 6, 11, 18, 22, 29. Good luck tomorrow!!!! :)

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we reviewed solutions to the practice AP multiple choice section from last week. The big day is Wednesday! There was no further assignment.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work on partial fractions. After introducing repeated linear factors and irreducible quadratic factors, students were assigned to add on #3, 5, 9, 10, 17, 21.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we took a follow-up to our Integration by Parts quiz. Afterward, we began to work with partial fractions. Students were assigned only #1, 2 from p. 563.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today students were assigned to finish the write-ups for the 2010 Free Response. We're also taking a follow-up quiz for Lesson 8.2 (Integration by Parts) tomorrow, so we reviewed those concepts as well.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we took a practice no-calculator, multiple choice test to model that section of the AP test. We'll unpack the results on Friday. In the meantime, don't forget about #1-2 on the 2010 FR.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we took a quiz over Lesson 8.2, Integration by Parts. There was no additional assignment.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today we wrapped up the 2009 free response, which is due Monday. We also discussed our upcoming quiz (also Monday) over Lesson 8.2.

]]> http://dragonometry.net Today in Calculus, we took a small break from our preparation for the AP test to introduce a new topic, Lesson 8.2 Integration by Parts. This video provides more instruction on "parts". The assignment is from p. 552, #1-3, 5-10, 13, 20. Students should also continue to #4 from the 2009 Free Response.
