Limits...an introduction to calculus 5-4-07
Today’s lesson was the introduction to Calculus! The class began by reading an excerpt from “Zero, The Biography of A Great Idea” regarding Zeno’s Paradox and Achilles. We then brainstormed ideas from the story to define a Limit. The class was then broken into three sections of notes, finding Limits using a table, a graph, and using direct substitution (click here for overhead notes). We then practiced each note idea with examples on the in-class handout. The homework is from page 750 3,5, 15-22 all, 37-55 odd and page 760 1-21 odd. There is a homework quiz next class.
