Thursday Sept 4: Welcome to Introduction to Calculus. Today we went over the course outline, but didn't get very far into anything mathematical just yet. We'll start our first proper lessons tomorrow and Monday. Until then, I have handed out the Grade 11 Skills Review. You can get started on this tonight (here is the answer key), but if you get stuck on a few things here and there, don't panic! - I don't expect you to all be able to do every single question on it just yet (and a couple of the skills in here aren't in the grade 11 curriculum anymore). I'll be giving you some examples and hints as we get to know each other over the next few days. If you are stuck, feel free to google things like "factor theorem" or "factoring sum of cubes" and see if you can get ahead of me. On the other hand, it is probably fair to say, that if you sit down and find that you can't do ANY of this review on your own, you have signed up for the wrong course, and you aren't ready for Calculus right now.
