We worked several end-of-chapter review problems from the text, finding critical numbers as well as maxima and minima.

We worked on a take-home test assigned by his professor.

We finished working through the first of the three problems in the project. (We worked the other two last session.)

We worked on a three-part project. Part 3 was an analysis of the graphs of a function compared to the graph of its first derivative; Part 2 was an analysis of the performance of a quarter horse over a 440-yd race (times vs. Yards covered) and Part 1 involved the costs of manufacturing shirts as the number of shirts made increased

We worked on several teacher-assigned problems in which we has to find the maximum or minimum of a continuous function.

We spent the session working on problems assigned by his teacher, involving the use of the derivative in finding maxim (profits) and minima (cost)>

We went through several example problems in which we used the first derivative to find maximum revenue and minimum cost. In most cases, the graphs of the applicable functions were given; in others the graphs were not shown and the second derivative was evaluated to check concavity and determine whether the point was a maximum or a minimum.

We worked on several problems in which we had to find where a function was concave up or concave down by using derivatives.

We explored the derivative as a tool for finding extrema of a function across a closed interval. We worked several problems from the test.

We reviewed finding some simple derivatives and stressed the necessity for memorizing the formulas. Then we discussed the derivative's role in finding a function's critical numbers. Finally, we worked several problems from the text.
