SL1 - 9/26/16

We're moving into a short unit on functions - mostly things you've seen before, but pay attention as there are new details to grasp. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

SL2 - 9/26/16

With some vector basics under our belts, we move on to applications - lines, angles between lines, problems involving velocity and other ideas. See you in class,

HL2 - 9/19/16

We'll look at the derivatives of other basic functions this week - logarithms (you're welcome Sahsa), trig, and inverse trig before moving on to higher order derivatives. That'll give us the basics to begin to look at how we use these ideas (a huge number of other functions are compositions and combinations of the ones we've seen). So it's time for a test - which we'll have next Monday, 9/26, covering Chapters 17&18 (mostly 18). See you in class,
Mr. Alei
