I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

This is the second post (here’s the first one) about an approach to introducing the derivative to calculus students that is counter to what I’ve seen in textbooks and other traditional treatments of ...

A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3j - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(j\) in the ...

This equation is in the standard form of a linear equation: A x + B y = C, where A, B, and C are constants. The variable x is raised to the power of 1. The variable y is raised to the power of 1. The ...

A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3h - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(h\) in the ...
