Calculus

that prepared me for the rigorous calculus course. I took calculus AB my senior year of high school, so I had all of the skills I needed prior to entering this class. I knew the Limit, Derivative, and Anti-Derivative topics, and in depth. I also spent lots of times in tutorials while I was taking this course in high school. The reason I have to repeat this course is due to the fact that I did not pass the AP exam. I made the score of a 1. I studied lots of calculus over the summer preparing me…

utilitarianism is to understand that “Utilitarian’s determine morally good actions by appealing to the principle of utility”, which is a principle of promoting the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Restrepo, 09.05). According to the Hedonistic Calculus, there are six criteria that will enable one to decide whether his/her actions promote…

originate. Ultimately morality is required both on a personal and communal level, it is an essential component of an effectively functioning society, and, according to Immanuel Kant, is necessary to one’s happiness. Jeremy Bentham’s ‘The happiness calculus’ furthermore states that the moral rightness or wrongness to an action is based on the outcome wether it function more towards…

of pleasure, from the decisions of the administration. The administration uses Parade Day as a way to not claim responsibility for the actions of the students, and to avoid the repercussions of their actions, by closing down the campus. Hedonistic Calculus, which is a tool to calculate whether an action is pleasurable or painful, does not only take the students into consideration, but as well the…

requires a deep understanding of calculus. For example, physics engines require a knowledge of vectors so objects can accurately move, which Calculus III teaches. No one wants to play a game where you throw a ball forwards and the ball goes backwards. Calculus can also determine the growth rate of interest or population growth, the volume of any object that can be represented with a function, and even the vector measurements that make space travel possible. To apply calculus to these real world…

of different learning curves and a student may have not been to a math class in a while and forgot some of the core pieces. There are skills that helped me in the pre-calculus math class and others I had to relearn; the class will help in other classes and life in multiple ways. To start off in high school I took a pre-calculus class. The teacher wasn’t the best at covering the material which caused me to barely be able to get a decent grade in the class. One of the concepts that I had…

This paper talks about Newton and Leibniz’s controversy to calculus along with how their view of calculus differs from today’s view. It also discusses the controversy of the invention of calculus and about whether or not Leibniz had stolen Newton’s methods and notions or if he came up with it himself. The article also mentions Newton and Leibniz’s opinion over the whole controversy and about today’s view of the controversy that happened between the two. It also talks about their methods in…

I chose Gravity of the Situation in A Stroll through Calculus: A Guide for the Merely Curious by Professor Barcellos,"A Stroll through Calculus: A Guide for the Merely Curious helps students fully understand calculus and successfully grasp its concepts. The foundational premise is that calculus is, at its most basic, about measuring things and how fast they change. The material gives non-majors an appreciation for calculus and teaches them its importance without the formal proofs needed only by…

Mrs. Arquette’s AP Calculus AB class is an advance study within the magnet program of Academy of Math, Science, and Applied Technology (A.M.S.A.T.) at Clark High School, so the classroom expectations are high. Not only does this class have the difficulty level of a college course, it also prepares the students to take the AP Calculus AB Test which can arguably be more challenging than anything the college professor can come up with themselves. There is no time for disorganization and disarray in…
