Extreme Value Theorem
We develop the Extreme Value Theorem, a way to know when an absolute extrema must exist without doing calculus.
Absolute Extrema
We discuss how to find and evaluate absolute extrema of a function using derivatives.
Geometric View
We present the visual interpretation of concavity and how it is determined by the second derivative.
Points of Inflection Geometric View
We discuss the real world and visual interpretation of a point of inflection.
Points of Inflection Analytic View
We discuss how to find points of inflection of a function using the second derivative.
Second Derivative Test
We discuss how to use the second derivative to classify extrema of a function.
Newtonian Mechanics
We discuss one of the original uses for calculus, how position, velocity, and acceleration are related.
Graphing Functions
We discuss how to use our tools to create detailed sketches of functions beyond the ability of precalc tools.
Geometric View of Linear Approximation
We discuss how to visualize linear approximation as a tangent line application.
Analytic View of Linear Approximation
We discuss to actually apply linear approximation to approximate a value.
