This is probably the last of three articles on how piecewise-linear functions could be used as a helpful on-ramp to the big ideas in calculus. In the first article, we saw how it’s possible to develop ...

Studies selected topics in analytical geometry and calculus: rates of change of functions, limits, derivatives and their applications. APPM 1340-1345 together are equivalent to APPM 1350. The sequence ...

This is the second post (here’s the first one) about an approach to introducing the derivative to calculus students that is counter to what I’ve seen in textbooks and other traditional treatments of ...

Continuation of APPM 1340. Studies selected topics in calculus: derivatives and their applications, integration, differentiation and integration of transcendental functions. Algebraic and ...
