Calculus

We looked at integral problems using u-substitution. For a few problems, the u expression was provided. In that case you take du/dx (or with respect to another variable) and substitute back in to make …

The chain rule is a fundamental rule in calculus that allows us to find the derivative of a composite function. You don't see it at the very beginning of taking derivatives, but technically it's …

We started by reviewing the chain rule. Sometimes he would get mixed up and apply something that looked like the chain rule to the end of an integral. For indefinite integrals, you add a constant to …

We looked at problems with integration involving trig functions. That led to reviewing two areas, trig functions of common angles and going over the chain rule. Spent a bit of time on both of those …
