For December 2 Work on Project 3 today. No Reading Assignment. For December 4 Section 5.4 Approximating Sums: The Integral as a Limit To read : Through page 381 Be sure to understand : The figures on page 381 Email Subject Line : Math 101 12/4 Your Name Reading Questions : Let f(x)=x2 and let I represent the integral of f from x=0 to x=3. Estimate I by finding L3 the left sum with 3 equal subintervals. Estimate I by finding R3 the right sum with 3 equal subintervals. For December 7 Section 5.4 Approximating Sums: The Integral as a Limit To read : All of the section Be sure to understand : The definition of a Riemann sum and the defintion of the integral as a limit on page 383 Email Subject Line : Math 101 12/7 Your Name Reading Questions : Let f(x)=x2 and let I represent the integral of f from x=0 to x=3. Will Ln underestimate or overestimate I? Why? Will Rn underestimate or overestimate I? Why? For December 9 Section 4.9 Parametric Equations, Parametric Curves To read : Through page 319 Be sure to understand : Examples 2, 3, and 4 Email Subject Line : Math 101 12/9 Your Name Reading Questions : How many functions are required to describe a parametric curve P? Is the graph of every parametric curve the graph of a function y=f(x)? For December 11 The REALLY BIG PICTURE. Last day of class. No Reading Assignment. Math 101 Home | T. Ratliff's Home
