preCalculus 2017-2018: Introductory Calculus Boot Camp! (May)

preCalculus 2017-2018:
Introductory Calculus Boot Camp! 
(May)

Intro Calculus Units 2-3-5 ScreenCasts




Just as we started the school year in preCalculus with an 8 week Boot Camp about Trigonometry, we are ending the year with an 8 week Boot Camp on Introductory Calculus! I say 8 weeks because I'm including our last chapter in preCalculus, namely Rational Functions in Chapter 3, as the beginnings of our discussions of Limits at a Point (Removable Discontinuities) and Limits at Infinity (Horizontal Asymptotes). 

Then I give a brief overview of the important concepts of Calculus: UNIT02 Limits, UNIT03 Derivatives and UNIT05 AntiDerivatives spending 2 weeks on each. We will likely finish all this right before Memorial Day. After Memorial Day we start Final Review!
