Test 2
The second 15% test will take today, 4 pm MONDAY 23 November in B263 (Week 11). You can find a sample in the course notes. You will be given from 16.05 — 17.00. You will be given a copy of these tables. Don’t worry I’ll scribble out the “UCC”!
The test will be composed of eight antiderivatives and integrals.
Week 10
We finished substitution and partial fractions. We started working on area.
Week 11
We will do some more examples on area. We will have a quick section on volume and then we will talk about applications to work.

Test 1
The first 15% test will take place today 4 pm MONDAY 19 October in B263 (Week 6). You can find a sample in the course notes, after the section on rates of change I think. It is a test that could arguably take 42 minutes but I’ll give ye from 16.05 — 17.00. 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.
- Differentiation from First Principles
- Tangent Lines
- Differentiate by Rule
- Differentiate by Rule
- Differentiate by Rule
- Rates of Change
- Rate of Change/ Geometry of Graph,
Week 5
In Week 5 we had a very quick review of the algebra-geometry duality and then spoke about applications of differentiation to rates of change and finding the maximum/minimum of a function.
Week 6
In Week 6 we will apply what we learned to optimisation problems. Note there are no classes on Friday.

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.

Extra Tutorial
Week 2
In Week 2 we learned how to differentiate with respect to first principles and also how to differentiate sums of differentiable functions.
Week 3
In Week 3 we will continue talking about the duality between algebra & geometry and perhaps begin to talk about differentiating some more functions.

Manuals
The manuals are available in the Reprographic/Copy Centre. You will need these notes for next week.
Week 1
In week one we spoke about the questions that the derivative was originally formulated to answer. Namely how do we find the tangent to a curve.
Week 2
In Week 2 we will look at calculating some derivatives.
Tutorials
Tutorials start properly this week:
- Monday 17:00 in B189
- Friday 09:00 in B185
As discussed on Thursday, you must make at least ONE of these classes every week.
