Date Assigned: Wednesday, January 20, 1999

Date to turn in: Wednesday , January 27, 1999

  1. Section 6.2 - 61,63
  2. Section 6.3- 1-17 odd

  4. Read Sections 7.1 and 7.2 and write a 100 word summary of 7.1
  5. For the mathematically well prepared who are interested in mathematical modeling, read the section called Focus on Modeling and try some of the problems

 

General Goals for the class:

Section 6.3 is the book's first mention of differential equations. This is a critical section to understanding how to use calculus to model physical phenomena. It is difficult but pay close attention to it. It shows how calculus is a natural part of physics.

Section 6.4 is again about the FTC. Again it is difficult to understand but important if you wish to understand the theoretical foundations of calculus.
