So it's the first week of the new trimester. Guess what we're still talking about... derivatives! I have given up on believing that there is an end to derivatives. I'm pretty sure that if we have not gotten to the end yet, it just does not exist. Derivatives are definitely something I will never be able to forget about after this class is done.
We started this week with curve sketching. It was pretty easy since it was based on analyzing derivatives and second derivatives, which is all we have been talking about in this entire class. It did help to understand the relationship between a function and its first and second derivatives, though.
On Wednesday, we took a quiz over some of the stuff we had started learning right before the exam and it included some of the curve sketching. I know I did well on the curve sketching part, but I'm not totally sure about the rest of the quiz... that four-day break probably was not a super good thing for me. I have already forgotten some of the stuff we just learned...
We ended the week with the first section of Chapter 4, which is over Optimization. It seems pretty simple. It reminds me of stuff we did in pre-calc, so I don't think it will be very difficult.
