Calculus BC Introduction: Limits and Derivatives
The series will cover an introduction for those intending to take Calculus BC in the coming school year, mainly focusing on limits and its connection to derivatives.
Session 1: Limits and continuity
Session 2: Differentiation and the basic definition of a derivative
Session 3: Differentiation extended--chain rule and implicit differentiation
Session 4: Extending session 3 to differentiating inverse functions and inverse trig functions using chain rule and implicit differentiation
Session 4: Applications of derivatives--Rates of change, related rates, linearization, and L'Hopital's rule
Session 5: Analysis of functions through derivatives--extrema and concavity, calculating higher order derivatives
In between sessions will be office hours where learners can come for extra questions.
