Lesson Topic
Another Slope Field Problem
Lesson Outline
We discussed slope-field problems in general as a review of the classes from before the break. We covered the derivative as the slope of a "parent" function, local linearity of non-linear functions, how the little "pieces" in the slope field indicate the slope of the parent function at the particular point which results from substituting values of x in the equation of the derivative. We reviewed that integrating the derivative gives the parent function but doesn't locate it in the plane because of the arbitrary nature of the constant. Then, we picked a couple of values for the constant of integration and plotted the resulting equations.

Lesson Comments
Jess seemed a lot more alert than she seemed in the sessions leading up to break. I think she's glad to be home (even if it's cold), glad to be away from the distractions of work and perhaps recovered from a mild concussion.
