Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss a session over the week. We will be covering a lot each day and missing a session will put you pretty behind the rest of the group. I will withdraw you if you have an unexcused absence. If you really cannot make it use the "excused absence" feature so that the absence is recorded.

SESSION 1

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Mon 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTCJun 10, 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTC

Today we will do a quick orientation to cover the entire week. Then we'll jump right in and start learning about what a derivative is, and connecting it to Limits and other foundational math concepts.

SESSION 2

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Tue 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTCJun 11, 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTC

Today we will look at differentiability, which is whether or not a function even has a derivative. This concept eventually ties into theorems later in AP Calc that have a big part in the AP exam.

SESSION 3

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Wed 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTCJun 12, 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTC

Today we learn the most foundational derivative rule: The power rule
﻿
We will apply the power rule in many different cases to see how derivatives can work

SESSION 5

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Fri 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTCJun 14, 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM UTC

Today we will dive into special derivatives: e, ln, and all trig ratios. These are all very important when getting to more complex problems
