Integration and AB Stuff
Today we reviewed Integration and AB Stuff, but I wasn't there because it was the day before Spring Break. While doing the make-up worksheet, I found that I had most of it down, which is expected. -

Differential Equation Review
I am pretty on the ball with DiffEqs (or at least I will be when I re-memorize the formulas for everything, but mainly it's all common sense). I am happy to hear that First Order whatevers will not be on the test because I am not entirely sure what that is. -
Infinite Series Review
I am super confident about Infinite Series because I spent a bunch of time learning the different types and test during that unit that the information has stuck pretty well. (I will never understand Telescoping but that's ok) -
Taylor Polynomials & Series
I feel confident about Taylor Polynomials and Power Series and such. I am aware of how to find Taylor Polynomials and I know the ones that can me memorized (lnx, e^x, cosx, sinx, etc...). -
Completing Practice Questions on Taylor Polynomials/Series/Remainders
I am still comfortable with Taylor Polynomials and Series, but I realized that I am shakey on determining remainders and the "LaGrange Error Bound"... the part f^n+1(z) is confusing to me because it's the "maximum value of the next term". I should probably figure out what that means. -
Advanced Integration Techniques
I don't have too many problems when it comes to Parts, besides the fact that u and v are too similar looking. Sometimes I screw up determining what should be u and what should be dv, but I am able to fix it quickly. Partial fractions is simple enough, but it gets confusing when you need to use "bx+c". Happy there is no trig-sub on the test. -
Integration Applications
Finding area and volume is simple enough... "perpendiscular" and "parashells" is helpful. What always gets me is when to use 2pi and pi (this cost me many points on the practice AP we took in school). 2pi is used for shells. -
Polar Review Day
I was absent for this, which was sad because we learned Polar a long time ago and I forgot most of it. I had to review on my own, which wasn't bad. I just memorized the formulas for area, surface area, and arc length. x= rcos. -
Polar Test Day
This was Law Day! So I missed the test. I heard several impressions about the test- Mark told me that I probably didn't have to study (but he's Mark) and I heard that someone cried because of it. Mixed reviews. I will definitely study a little before making it up on Monday. -
THT Debriefed
I did not get to have my Take Home Test debriefed to me because I was working on the Polar Test this day... My impression: I'm glad I ignored Mark and studied a little because that test was difficult. I felt confident on the first part, not so much on the second. I never did get a chance to look at the THT before the AP, so sad. -
Pre-Game
This class was pretty cool. I enjoyed doing that "Find someone" activity because we did it in the beginning of the year and it was a cute way to wrap up the year. I enjoyed the walk around the school- it was a good way to keep my attention (I wouldn't have listened to Hyman's Helpful Hints if we were sitting in the classroom). The pencil was a nice gift for the test. -
Game Day
The test was not terrible at all, I probably definitely got a 4 or 5 on it. A few things tripped me up in the multiple choice part, but I think I was able to guess well. I am glad we took that polar test so recently because there was a polar free response question. I got a bagel after the test with Mark and Rae, which is always good.
