Session Summaries by Calculus Tutors

★ ★ ★ ★

"Our session involved looking at every problem that the student wanted to cover. We went through little pockets of material from across the entire semester. We will meet again on Monday to work out any last minute questions prior to her final."

"Today the student and I reviewed her past test. The student now knows how to find the critical points in a function and using the sign chart to determine what a function looks like and how it's behaving. "

"Calculus review for Friday's exam. Mainly Q/A with some practice problems from a large packet given by her instructor. Reviewed drawing f'(x) from a graph of f(x), different types of discontinuities, and analytically finding horizontal and vertical asymptotes. "

"We finished the student's two homework assignments. We went over word problems that went over topics like density, water flow, and population growth. These word problems required a understanding of integration concepts. Her 2nd homework was all about integrating by u-substitution. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We went through more on drawing graphs, representing the derivatives of the original functions. In addition to that, we went into algebraically taking the derivative of a function."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We reviewed how to solve limits, using limits to define a derivative, finding derivatives, using them in relation to distance, velocity and time and general rules for solving related rates problems. "

"The first student and I went through various topics throughout the Calculus course which I had outlined after going through a couple sample AP tests and reviewing their classes curriculum. We covered things varying from recognizing substitution under integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus to using the chain rule, substitution rule, L'Hopital's rule, etc. Further addressed some key terms such as tangent and normal lines and the area of bounded regions in a plane. With the second student, we addressed much of the same material; however, he didn't have as much trouble as his brother. We were able to more quickly get through the early things dealing with things like composition of functions, tangent lines, and limits without much trouble. We then moved into more challenging problems, beginning with the area between curves in a plane and moving into 3 dimensional geometry resulting from rotations around an axis or from association of shapes in 3 dimensional space over a region. Moved also into substitution problems and spoke about strategies for approaching integration questions. Went through the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position and applied them to solve a sample free response question. Reviewed related rates (covered last section) by going through a different free response question."

"Today I went over the homework covering limits and continuity with the student. This is his first time taking calculus and he is still learning some notations and definitions. He also has some good foundation in mathematics that I believe will benefit him greatly in the course. We were able to finish the homework today."

"We did more of the calculus review using limits definition. For the most part we made progress towards reviewing for the test. "

"We covered annuities and amortization equations and worked through several problems on and relating to these topics."

"We covered U-Substitution from her 3rd exam review sheet today. This concept requires a lot of practice and even more mastery to identify it's situational use. By the end of our session she seemed very comfortable with U-Substitution's application to solve integrals. We also saw a variety of problems today that require mini tutorials such as geometric derivation to solve integrals, numerical methods using rectangles in a finite space and Producer/ Consumer surplus.
