All,

This week is getting crazy, and with tomorrow (Review your basic geometric formulas for area, surface area, and volume!!!) even crazier. The four big ideas this week are The Chain Rule, Logarithmic Differentiation, Derivatives of Inverse Functions, and Related Rates. All three require us to be on top of our Algebra and Trigonometry game. If you found any of these 'games' to be especially rusty or difficult, use the following resources to brush up.

Khan Academy - Derivatives of Inverse Trig Functions

Khan Academy - Inverse Trig Functions

Khan Academy - Chain Rule

Khan Academy - Logarithms

I have posted two activities from my MATH103 class in Week 5 on the Canvas course page. Focus on Section 4.7 to review inverse trig functions.

One last thing. In the gray lady (The New York Times) Molly Worthen wrote an op-ed titled "Lecture Me. Really." that talks about lecturing and its efficacy. I thought it was an interesting read, worthy of your attention.

Best,

Mr. Weston
