- First of all, have a great spring break! Come back all fired up to
power through the rest of calculus....:)
- Our lab features Newton's method, which is described in your sequences section.
- Here are some problems from the last three sections:
- Improper integrals: 347-350, 353-354, 355-363 (odd),
372-373, 394-395.
- Sequences: 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 (why did I choose those
numbers?:); 23-26, 27-34, 46-49, 59, 60
- Series: 67-69, 71-73, 79-80, 89-91, 93-94, 105, 116
You might want to work those in preparation for your second
exam, which is the Thursday following Spring Break. It will
feature the three sections above, as well as
- Today:
- We're focused on sequences, especially those generated by Newton's method, which is one approach to approximating solutions to
- We'll see how the tangent line approximation plays a crucial role,
and also some unusual things that one can do with this method (such as
create a division algorithm for computation).
