You should read the chapters to familiarize yourself both with the material and the vocabulary/notation this book uses.

A few notes:

Section 1.1: Get used to using point-slope form of a line. I find it easier to use the form . An answer in this form is done. You do not need to change it to slope-intercept form.

Section 1.4: Do explorations 1 and 2 in this section. They are a good review.

Section 2.1: You do not need to learn the formal definition of limit given on page 60. Understand how the Sandwich Theorem works, but please don't lose sleep over the mechanics of it.

Section 3.1: You must know the definition of a derivative. . It is also helpful to know the other version of a derivative, which is the derivative at a point. . Look over one sided derivatives as well.

Section 3.2: Know when a function does not have a derivative and the Intermediate Value Theorem.
