AP Calculus BC 2018-2019: Fare Thee Well, You Will Be Missed! (June)

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019:
Fare Thee Well, You Will Be Missed!
(June)

JUNE UPDATE(last one):
Well, good bye to all my AP Calculus BC students! We had fun with our AP Movie Marathon (Theory Of Everything, Hidden Figures) didn't we? Hope you had a great year and you learned a lot! Have a great summer. Hope to see you next year!

UNIT12 ScreenCasts
MAY UPDATE: 
May was all about AP Review, AP Exam Week, AP Movie Marathons and Final Projects!

UNIT12 is all about Vector and Polar notation. We started by talking about parametrized motion problems. Then we extended our formulas for ArcLength and Surface Area. Finally, we did the same thing with Polar Graphs: finding Area and ArcLength. 

We're loving our class set of TI nSPire CX CAS Graphing Calculators from Donorschoose!

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019: What Is A Power Series? (March)

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019:
What Is A Power Series?
(March)

UNIT11 ScreenCasts

UNIT11 was all about generating MacLaurin and Taylor Power Series. We started by talking about what a Power Series looks like and how to find the interval of convergence. Also, we found out that where a Power Series converges it converges to a function, eg: 1/(1-x) = sigma(x^n,n,0,infinity) for all Real numbers x less than 1 and all Real numbers x greater than -1. Finally, we learned how to generate a Power Series given function by: theorem, substitution, differentiation, integration or geometric. We also talked about estimating errors when estimating functions with truncated series: Alternating Series Error Bound or LaGrange Error Term.

UNIT10 ScreenCasts

UNIT10 was all about convergence tests for series of all positive constants. We started by talking about Improper Integrals and P-Series. Then we talked about Geometric Series. Finally we studied the Comparison Test and the Integral Test!

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019: Advanced Integration Techniques (January)

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019:
Advanced Integration Techniques
(January)

UNIT08 ScreenCasts

We studied UNIT08 Advanced Integration Techniques and UNIT09 Special DiffEqus. These used to be two separate units, but now I just lump them all into UNIT08. 

 We start with L'Hopital's Rule and the famous scene from Mean Girls. We're gonna need that rule soon. 

 Then we go on to integrating inverse trig functions as well as exponential and logarithmic functions not necessarily of base e. We also covered trig powers, trig sub, by parts and partial fractions.

 Last, but not least, we worked with DiffEqus requiring these techniques such as Logistics! We played with Exponential Growth and Decay, Exponential Approach and Logistic Growth and Decay models. We solved these DiffEqus analytically as above and graphically using Slope Fields and Euler's Method with our own program for the TI nSpire we called eulern().
