I am emailing a link of this to everyone on the class list every week. If you are not receiving these emails or want to have them sent to another email address feel free to email me at jpmccarthymaths@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list.

 Test 1

The first 15% test will take place at 9 am Tuesday 18 October in B149 (Week 6). You can find a sample in the course notes, after the section on rates of change I think… actually I am not 100% where it is. It is a test that could arguably take 42 minutes but I’ll give ye from 09.05 — 10.00. You will be given a copy of these tables. Don’t worry I’ll scribble out the “UCC”!

Note that the format will be the same of this.

  1. Differentiation from First Principles
  2. Tangent Lines
  3. Differentiate by Rule
  4. Differentiate by Rule
  5. Differentiate by Rule
  6. Rates of Change
  7. Rate of Change/ Geometry of Graph,

but this is dependent on our progress in lectures.

Week 3

In Week 3 we covered everything in the notes up to the quotient rule.

Week 4

In Week 4 we will talk about another way of combining functions — composition — and how to differentiate them — the Chain Rule.

Continuous Assessment

As can be seen here in the Module Descriptor, there will be two 15% tests: one in Week 6 and one in Week 10/11. I hope to give you two week’s notice of each and there are sample tests in the notes.
