Lesson Comments
During this first Calculus BC tutoring session with Madison, the main objective was to explore her Math background and problem-solving skills. Madison is a very bright and capable Math student who has had a negative experience with Calc BC in her defunct FLVS course. We worked on determining limits of non-linear functions/equations using the TI-84 programmable calculator. Very encouraged to know that Madison aspires to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree next year.
