Multivariable calculus

Derivative is a complex subject of calculus. In calculus, derivative is a key term developed by both Newton and Leibniz. With function f (t), the first derivative is defined asf^ ' (t)= df/dt= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-f(t-h))/h〗. There is also a second derivative known as second-order derivative. The second-order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f^ ' (t)-f^ ' (t-h))/h〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖1/h {(f(t)-f(t-h))/h- (f(t-h)-f(t-2h))/h}〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-2f(t-h)+f(t-2h))/h^2 〗 (Podlubny

Throughout the paper, we will compare a novice and expert responses to certain mathematical concepts in order to recognize the different techniques they practice. We will interpret the procedures they use to make connections and to check their level of comprehension on a specific mathematical concept. An expert typically has a broad interpretation and connects their ideas to more concepts, in this case introducing graphs, definitions, formulas and physics whereas the novice will have useful knowledge

PI (π) One of the oldest and most commonly known and used concepts in mathematics is that of Pi (π). In the earliest of know human civilizations, people realized the importance of finding the exact value of π for practical reasons. Even by todays standards, we still only need to know the exact value of π to a few decimal place values, although that hasn’t stopped mathematicians from pursuing a more accurate representation for its value throughout time. The earliest know approximations for the

Why is math required in college? Most students in my algebra II class, in high school, disliked math substantially. Math was only required to be taken for two years and if you were going to attend college, Algebra II was a requirement. When their two years were up, I could say that about half the students did not continue math. Many students in my Pre-Cal class always had a thing about asking the teacher when they were ever going to solve a problem like that in the “real world”. I noticed that the

Integrated Cirriculum Research Paper Integrated curriculums are constantly becoming more popular with educators each and every day. It seems that with this increased enthusiasm there should also be an increased activity of integration taking place within the classroom. This, however, does not seem to be the case. Math and Science integration has been widely talked about and supported by educators young and old, but critics state that there is little evidence to show the effectiveness of integration

Mathematics is considered a science that manipulates symbols according to given rules or instructions which can also be considered the science of numbers. My belief is that being literate in mathematics is crucial in this world because I consider math to be the base to explain various quantitative disciplines in fields such as finance, physics, biology, economics and chemistry. Moreover, I have always had a positive attitude while solving mathematical problems because there are so many different

above average student, receiving A’s and B’s on my report card. However, sophomore year hit me like a bolt of lightning. I failed two semesters of AP Calculus AB class. In order to bounce back from this fiasco, I retook the class to prove to myself that I could have done better. Through hard work, late nights, and dedication, I was able to pass Calculus the second time. If only I tried harder, I could have passed on the first try. My teacher that year was known as one of the “hardest” math teachers

Introduction: Pi has been used for the past 250 years. The first zero in pi comes after the first 31 digits. Archimides was the first person to study pi in the ancient times. Objective: The objective for this lab was to determine an experimental value for pi by measuring sixteen different round objects, and calculate the percent error between the experimental value and the accepted value. Hypothesis: If the circumference and diameter are measured on a round object then the relationship of the graph

Last semester, I encountered a personal experience of one’s self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. Looking to accomplish one more mathematics pre-requisite for my chosen major, I decided to proceed by undertaking a course in 1411 pre-calculus, before moving on to statistics in the fall. However, I regularly struggled through each new math class with much determination, I have always accepted that mathematics has always been my kryptonite, packed with anxiety. More importantly, this least favorite

years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class
