2014 SUMMER PACKET

Welcome 2014-15 BC Calculus Students!  You should have been given a summer work packet to prepare you for our journey into the study of calculus this fall.  If you have not received your packet, or want another copy, you can download it from the course folder on the website. Past students have found this review to be very helpful upon undertaking the study of calculus, and I'm sure you will, too!

Use this forum to post questions and discuss solutions regarding the summer packet.  Look to offer help to those who ask and post your questions when you have them.  There is only one rule on this forum: ALWAYS RESPECT EACH OTHER!  You can also refer to the discussions from previous summer work packets - just scroll down. 

Some reminders: 1. the packet is due the first day of class (9/2/14) for a significant grade, 2. your original work should be on separate paper and done without a calculator except when specified, 3. solutions (without work) are posted in the course folder online, 4. the list of helpful links is also posted in the course folder.

Good luck!  See you on September 2, 2014! ~Coach Wilson

  1. Greetings everyone,

    It is now the first full week of August and you should be nearing the end of the summer preparation packet. The lack of comments and Twitter followers has me skeptical, however. A friendly reminder, the packet is due on the first day of class without exceptions. As always, post questions here.

    I will be tweeting an extra credit opportunity the week prior to classes beginning, so make sure to follow @GrovesBCcalc!

    Regards,
    Coach Wilson

  2. Hi Mr. Wilson,

    Hope your having a good summer so far. To clarify for the last page with the matching graphs, can we turn that sheet in with our answers written on it? Also, if you don't have a Twitter, is there an alternate way of staying updated that's not via Twitter?

    Thanks,

  3. Yes, you should write your answers on the last page and remove it to submit with your other work. I utilize Twitter to send out updates and other information, so I would recommend setting up a Twitter account or having a classmate keep you informed. This mode of communication was very useful last year during our myriad snow days.

    Good luck! Coach Wilson

  4. When should we be expecting the extra credit to be posted to twitter?

    1. It was sent out last evening...here it is: BONUS! Include a paragraph with your summer packet to answer: Why are you taking this class? What do you expect to gain? What interests you?
