Undergraduate students work in the summer calculus boot camp for the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program on Thursday, July 26, 2018 in Chico, Calif. This four-week boot camp focuses on problem solving, explorations, and applications of precalculus mathematics incorporating calculator skills.

Despite my calculus and chemistry exams of doom being tomorrow and the day after, it has been a good day.
Aural Theory Exam - CHECK. (class got out early.)
No Studio, Divisional Recital instead - CHECK. (also got out early.)
Time for a Coffea Run (which I did not buy, for the record) - CHECK.
Best Coffea Visit Ever - CHECK.
Weather That Allowed Us to Sit Outside on the Grass - CHECK.
Women's Choir (with our favourite "It is a beautiful day" warm-up) - CHECK.
GOT MY "NIFTY FIFTY" LENS!!!! - CHECK. (YAYYY! ready to try out portraits on Friday, AFTER my exams).
Bridal Shower Planning - CHECK.
STUDY STUDY STUDY - CHECK. (Although, more is to come).
Cookies & Cream Frozen Yogurt - CHECK.
More STUDY STUDY STUDY - CHECK.
Jumping Photos with Nora - CHECK.
Denny's "Fat Tuesday" Extravaganza with Nora and Danielle - CHECK.
Finish Homework Right in Time - CHECK.
And that's all the checks I'm going to ramble on about.
I took this outside (kit lens used) after our Coffea visit. Not sure why I like it so much but it's kind of relaxing and peaceful for whatever reason. I just like it. :).
Working on my calculus. I work in pen because it doesn't smear, like pencil does.
Who makes mistakes, anyway? No need to erase mistakes, if I don't make them.
The equation W=Fxcos(theta) is ok if you have a constant force. But work is really one of those things that requires calculus to understand. If a force varies based on location, that affects how much work was done. So Newton figured out that by finding the area under the curve on a (x,F) graph, you can deal with such non-constant forces. This is called taking the integral of F with respect to x, and it is written mathematically as shown on the bottom left.
Getting areas under curves is hard. That's why Newton, Leibniz, (and apparently Archimedes in ancient Greece 1800 years ago, but we lost his book until recently) invented integral calculus to do it. In AP 1, you won't be able to get the area under the parabola shown at bottom center. But you will be able to get the area under the trapezoid shown at bottom right, simply by using geometry (I'd break it into 3 pieces to do it.) If you're given a non constant force, you'll know because there'll be a graph (or they ask you to plot one.) Get the area under the curve and you've got work. If they tell you its a constant force, feel free to use W=Fxcos(theta). Note that this COMES from the area under a horizontal curve.
Obviously in a calculus based physics class we could get the area under both curves.
I taped all of those pieces of paper to my wall to help me study (as you can see behind me) but maybe I just should have been studying instead of taking pictures...

Contas com pedras, antes dos números existiam as pedras.
"Nas diferenças que a natureza estabelece por si mesma, a pedra não é dura nem mole, e junto do magma dos vulcões foi lÃquida e deixou de o ser. A pedra só é dura e durável em confronto com os seres humanos, que deverão ter visto nela o contrário da fragilidade da carne, que lhes terá dado a ver outras formas de durar que não as orgânicas, mostrando que há outras temporalidades dentro do tempo.

Who invented Calculus as infinitesimal calculus, is a mathematical discipline focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. Ideas leading up to the notions of function, derivative, and integral were developed throughout the 17th century, but the decisive step was made by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Publication of Newton's main treatises took many years, whereas Leibniz published first (Nova methodus, 1684) and the whole subject was subsequently marred by a priority dispute between the two inventors of calculus.
o input foi: sin(10^-3)/10^-3
que é o limite de sen(h)/h com h tendendo a 0.
o wolfram|alpha derivou a parada e fez mais algumas
vale notar que o wolfram|alpha também aceitaria como limites... tente:
lim (sin x)/x as x->0

This sucks, I don't care, I have no time. I just wanted to announce that audition results came back today, I got third chair of four...and Dennis got fourth. ;D Kyle didn't make it in, I'm a little bummed, but I beat out four or five other people for my spot, HELLS YEAH. So now I'm comfortable in my pajamas because my clothes are soaked from snowshoe dodgeball in a snowstorm today, it was actually really fun but I kept falling because I suck at walking in snowshoes. Running, hah, I'm on my feet for about three steps and I trip. Whatevs. Also, Paul remembered my number without asking [he got a new phone today and I was like awwwyay!] and I had Teddy Grahms.
Now. Off to do two essays, read twenty-something pages, thirty-plus review questions and then who knows what insanity for calculus. Midterm week, blegh.

ps kinda pumped that I actually remembered to do this and get it up. maybe it'll be a good streak?
