How could this become a calculus problem?
What assumptions are made in this analysis?
What is a derivative?

Another hypothesis
We will come back to these and have you work through some of them later.

Read Chapters 1 and 2 Look over group problems for discussion Do first 12 problems (in-class set) for
Thursday. Look over the problems in the back of
each chapter. We’ll begin some basic review in class
next time.

Take solace from Churchillfrom Chapter III My Early Life: 1874-1904
Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
All my life from time to time I have had to get up disagreeable subjects at short notice, but I consider my triumph, moral and technical, was in learning Mathematics in six months. …
When I look back upon those care-laden months, their prominent features rise from the abyss of memory. …
We were arrived in an 'Alice-in-Wonderland' world, at the portals of which stood 'A Quadratic Equation.' …. Further dim chambers lighted by sullen, sulphurous fires were reputed to contain a dragon called the 'Differential Calculus.' But this monster was beyond the bounds appointed by the Civil Service Commissioners who regulated this stage of Pilgrim's heavy journey.
In geomath we must venture forth into those dimly lit chambers to confront the dragons of Differential and Integral Calculus – but not for a while.
