Another test week, monday was the test so nothing to talk about there. Tuesday: finding extreme values, simple enough, but finding them algebraicly is still a bit fuzzy for me. I know to get the critical points, but how do you get the absolute extreema? My notes say to evaluate the function at those points, although I was very tired the day I took those notes. I guess I could just plug in those numbers. Wednsday was Mean Value Theorum which is basically the slope formula, which makes sense, because derivitives are the graph of the slope of the original graph; Thursday was more of that. Friday was connecting what we learned, which is a good way to end the week. Graphing f'(x) and f''(x) from the graph of f(x) takes a surprising amount of critical thinking. Basically it showed things like the extrema from the graph are the zeroes of the next graph down. Now I'm thinking of inception and how derivitives are like the different levels of dreams. Anyway, I liked ending the week on a sort of reflection, but perhaps it would be better to do reflections on mondays to keep this fresh in our heads. I also didn't like the
