Calculus
THE COURSE
The main objective of any of my classes is to have students appreciate the wonders and uses of high level mathematics and the critical thinking that goes along with it. Calculus is no different. One of the goals of this course is to have students discover the beauty of calculus and its implementation. This is a rigorous class, and students know the expectations right from the beginning. Their hard work and dedication will lead to success inside the classroom. Furthermore, this will carry over into their college classes. Together we are taking a journey to discover the joys of calculus. The expectations of this course is that students will do all of the following: work with functions numerically, be able to explain their work and solutions both in writing and orally, use a calculator for solving problems both through experimentation and interpretation, and much more.
