Derivatives Review and Practice
The goal of this week or perhaps 2 weeks is to review, memorize and especially practice exercise the derivative rules, with particular emphasis on:
Quotient and product rule memorization and practice
Chain rule memorization and practice
Memorize trig derivatives and practice problems that include them
Time permitting:
Some time on log(x) etc.
Implicit differentiation
Appplications
Things to try:
One hour of evening reading or problems in evening, largely in Thomas / Finney. (Note Thomas matches Professor Leonard almost exactly on numbering)
Back off somewhat from three hour goal during week. Cuts into writing too much.
Review:
I backed off – all the way it seems to backwards, though I did get some problems done early in the week.
Not sure what next week will look like at this point. Prioritizing writing, and today it’s already past five, so deferring planning to the weekend.
