All,

I hope you are gearing up for the end of the term. After an exam I know we sometimes feel a bit down, but we only have three more instruction days and a final review left. The end is in sight! Make sure to end on a strong note by studying, reviewing algebraic skills on Khan Academy that may be a bit rusty, and by completing all assignments. You have worked so hard over the term, don't let all that hard work go to waste by giving up now.

A couple corrections:

In Activity #7, Question #9, the last conditions should be about f''(x), not f'(x).

In Activity #9, Question #27, the function should be , not .

A few notes:

All WAMAP Homework assignments from now on will be due on December 11th at 11:59 PM. I will not be answering any homework questions after the final exam, so make sure to attempt these assignments soon! If I were you, I would treat all homework assignments as if they had their original due dates (1 week), and if you need a bit more time for a paper, project, or studying for another final exam, use the flexibility I am giving you.

The Final Exam is on December 7th at 10:00 AM in our normal room.

By now we should all know that it means to "Find the definite integral using the limit definition." Practice this skill over the weekend. We will discuss the 'shortcut' next week, but you will have to use the 'long' method when asked on the Final Exam.

A few other items:

A fellow student forwarded me this article on infinity: http://acko.net/blog/to-infinity-and-beyond/. It includes some interesting Calculus ideas that some of you may encounter in the future.

The STEM Tutoring Center will be closed next week, November 25th to the 29th. Make appropriate changes to your study schedule.

If you have any questions, let me know. Make sure to be specific in what you are having difficulty with, include screen captures and photos of any work you are doing, and please be positive! You can understand the material, but you will have to work at it.

Best,

Mr. Weston
