Friday
Integration and AB Review. Was not present.
I reviewed AB subject matter on my own over spring break. Last day before spring break. -
Period: to
AP Calculus Prep Journal
AP Calculus Prep Journal Project 2014 -
Tuesday
First day back from spring break. Infinite Series review day.
Differentiating between sequence and series, different types of series, how to find convergence and sum. -
Wednesday
Taylor Polynomials, Series and their remainders. Taylor polynomials are simple enough, if the series is alternating, the remainder is simple.
However I am unsure of the LaGrange formula, and will need to look it over. -
Thursday
Practice Questions for the Series and Taylor Polynomials unit. Although I did not get 100% of the questions, I understood how to approach each problem. Things I should personally remember: Being careful of sin2x and its infinite series. Very different from sinx^2. I cannot simply plug in the 2x for x. -

Monday
Absent. Worked on catching up on timeline. In addition reviewed over
well-known MacLaurin/Taylor Series. Class reviewed Advanced Integration Techniques,
which, unlike with Series, I feel completely comfortable with despite not having practiced them for some time. -
Tuesday
Applications of Integrals. We used integrals and manipulations of already known formulas in order to find aspects such as area and volume given an irregular region. Not very difficult, I find the many integration rules and methods to be more of a problem than the application, as formulas can be derived through common sense, identifying the radius, or "the box" with height f(x) and width dx. -
Wednesday
Review of the Polar Unit Make sure I know how to:
1. Go between polar and rectangular (and even parametric) form.
2. Derivative and integral of polar form.
3. Recognizing polar graphs.
4. Finding area, arclength, surface area, and volume of polar graphs/regions. -
Thursday
Polar Test. I feel I did very well on all of the questions except for at most 2 of them. Despite the option to omit one question, I still found myself strained for time. -
Friday
AP Review Day. We worked on several AP Practice Problems. While I did fine on the integration/area question, I was still somewhat confused by the series question. At home, I have reviewed on my own for logarithmic growth and decay, equations such as Ae^kt and their uses. -
Monday
Overview of the take home test. Did not benefit me as much because I chose not to do the majority of the take home test. Even still I feel prepared for the AP test.
At home, I reviewed Polar and Parametric equations, and also reviewed over AB subject matter such as the Chain Rule and special systems of equations which are nondifferentiable. -
Tuesday
AP Computer Science A Test Day. Was not in class.
Scanned over AP review book for any final things to look over/remind myself of. Feeling ready for AP test. -
Wednesday
AP Test Day!
