9/22

Today was confusing. Originally i thought that I was somewhat confident of the questions on the worksheet.. but after getting the real answers to the questions, im not so sure anymore. for example, the questions and are both nonexistent. My mistake was that i didnt account for the limit as x approaches 0 from both sides. I just assumed that x was approaching the positive value would be the same as negative. This made me realize that there are some instances in which i need to really focus and understand what is happening. Other than that, i think that im in good shape when it comes to things like continuity and differentiability. Im grateful that the test is moved to friday since i have an english test on the same day :O . So yeahh hopefully ill be able to understand everything by then. pce

9/21

Today, we talked about difference quotients and reviewed what is going to be on the test. It was generally a slow day for me since i couldnt really wake up this morning. Well we have a test on thursdayy and Im going to really crack down and study to make sure i understand everything. Im not really that naturally good at math so I have to work to make sure i get everything -_-. Soo yeahh. I just finished the limits worksheet with bchu and it seems simple enoughh. I have to make sure i understand all of the basic things. im going to start doing section 3.1 and 3.2 tomorrow when i have a little more timee. pce

9/18

Friday at last! Anyways today was a good day because we learned the last aspect of the "foundation" to calculus. Hopefully i can get good at these so i can actually understand calc because i hope to pursue a career that involves a lot of the things that we're learning this year. So far it seems to be simple and easy to understand. Hopefully i can be able to grasp the information that we're going through in the future.
Differentiability, or however you spell it, seems to make alot of sense. Im not exactly sure in how we will be able to use them, but im sure things in the future will start to get freaky :O. Hopefully i can remember things that we were taught last year by Mr. Cascione because i forgot alot of it. But im sure things will start to pop up in my head as we go over things.
so yeah thats enough for nowww soo peace.
