We finished the limit problem review. We will begin the derivatives review tomorrow.
We will review chapter 1 on limits using the AP test type problems in the text. We will continue these problems through all of the chapters and at times we will stop and review topics as needed.

Lesson Comments
We have completed all of the topics required for the APCalculus BC course. We will use our class time to do problems similar to those that will be on the test. Our text book has over 100 practice problems.
We will study vector-valued functions. We will graph them, find limits, find derivatives, and integrate these functions. Also we will study displacement, velocity, and acceleration as examples of vector-valued functions. This is the final topic in the AP Calculus BC course.
Assignment
Five problems Fromm the textbook.

Lesson Comments
Joshua has a very good understanding of vectors. The problems also gave us an opportunity to review limits, derivatives, integrals, and applications which are the four major parts of calculus. From next Monday until the taking of the AP calculus test we will be doing practice problems related to the test.
We will go over the assigned problems on vectors and also do an application problem. We will study vector-valued functions.

Lesson Comments
We completed the section on vectors and started the section on vector-valued functions. We will complete the content part of Calculkus BC and begin preparing for the AP test on Monday. This was a goal we set in August.
We will do example problems in the text involving writing vectors in component form, adding vectors, finding the magnitude of a vector, and finding the unit vector in the direction of a vector.
Assignment
Eight problems from the text.

Lesson Comments
We had a very successful session. We did many problems and completed this section of the text. We will study vector-value functions next.
We will complete the polar equation and polar graphs material. We will do some integrals with equations given in polar form. This will also serve as a review of integrals involving trig functions.
Assignment
One problem involving integration.
