<p>Well...I'm in BC...my friends in AB are around the end of the first Integration chapter in Calculus (Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic) textbook...which covers...basically what integrals are.</p>
<p>In BC, we're...differentiating logarithmic functions (different book, I guess...). We finished shells, disks, washers, finding the area between curves, that stuff.</p>
<p>No Michael I dont think you understand what I am trying to tell you about Arco's. If you get Arco's you can throw away your Calc TEXTBOOK..thats just how damn good it us. If you actually really sit down to read it there is no way why you SHOULDN'T get a 5.</p>
<p>I was reading a whole bunch of reviews on the Arco's book. Sounds very good...especially for $20.</p>
<p>It is excellent and that is an understatement.</p>
<p>I didn't use Arco's. I used Barron's. I made a five anyway. Barron's was extremely helpful, but I used many other sources as well.</p>
<p>But, I would still advise you read the text, do the examples as they come, and then do the problem sets. Use the prep book to give you even more practice.</p>
<p>we are working on revolving area around y-axis, part of the area between curves section i think (integration)</p>
<p>Just had a test with:</p>
<p>one page of limits (l'hopitals rule most advanced thing on there)
one page of derivatives (product, quotient and chain rule problems with stuff like ln x , x^x, 3^x, etc.)
one page of integrals (just some standard u-substitution, we aren't too far along on that)</p>
<p>then a take home part with a problem where he gave us f''(x) and we had to solve for f(x), a problem where we had to show that a rectangle with one side on the x-axis has the largest area under the curve y = e^(-x^2) when two of the vertices of the rectangle lie on the inflection points of the curve. and then just a standard problem about a particle moving.</p>
<p>so I guess that sums up where we are. ;]</p>
<p>We just started Riemann Sums in integration (ones with unequal subintervals). My hw was on pg. 259 in Larson-Hostettler</p>
<p>We have a test on chapter two, derivatives, of the "Calculus of a Single Variable" book tomorrow.</p>
<p>And no, we're not skipping around, hehe.</p>
<p>Test tomorrow on:
Chain Rule applications (word problems), implicit differentiation, derivatives of inverse trig functions, and some other stuff
(Just finished Chapter 4 in the Foerster book)</p>
<p>heh the only time my AP euro class was fast was the week of the AP test when we did the last 100 years of European history (of course, only the most important century). Everyone self studied in the last 2 days.</p>
<p>We just started Anti-Derivatives today and we just finished or are close to finishing Chapter 4 in "Single Variable Calculus". Pretty easy so far.</p>
<p>Umm you finished integration in a day? Sorry, in the text i have on my shelf Chapter 4 is integration.</p>
<p>Am I wrong? I dont have my textbook today. Its like 4.10... but isnt that the last section in Chapter 4?</p>
<p>Im not sure..lol Im confused. You said you started antidifferentiation today which is the same as integration. But you finished Chapter 4 which is the start of integration. lol no worries i just wanted to make sure i understood you.</p>
<p>lol, i have no clue either. I havent looked at the book yet for 4.10, i just know thats what we are doing... which i think is integration/anti-differentiation. Ill figure it out tomorrow.</p>
<p>geez...I'm already on Euler's Method, something like the end of Ch 6. I'm going to remind my teacher we're only doing AB.</p>
<p>just did some hw on page 249 (section 4.1 - antiderivatives and indefinite integration in Larson/Hostetler/Edwards). It's a shame that i have to self-study the section since the teacher just casually assigned it right after a quiz.</p>
<p>We are now on Max/min, inflection points, Optimization</p>
<p>sweet, my class is finally ahead of someone else's. haha.</p>
