space shuttle differentiation

eric — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:10:15 +0000

This pencast includes another practical example of the usefulness of calculus. This particular problem involves a camera that is tracking the ascent of the space shuttle, and introduces trigonometric differentiation. space shuttle differntiationbrought to you by Livescribe

ladder differential problem

eric — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:07:39 +0000

Calculus is difficult because it involves extremely abstract principles, many of which aren’t very intuitive at first. By using the example of a falling ladder, the fundamental concepts that form the foundation of calculus are more easily understood. ladder differential problembrought to you by Livescribe

derivatives and related rates pt. 1

eric — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:02:57 +0000

Differential calculus is particularly useful when studying the motion of particles or objects. This pencast uses the concept of related rates to track the velocity of two moving objects. NOTE: This particular pencast continues in “derivatives and related rates pt. 2″. derivatives and related rates pt. 1brought to you by Livescribe

hiking differentiation

eric — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:00:52 +0000

The concept of differentiation can be difficult to grasp simply because it involves a large set of rules, techniques and abstract concepts. In this pencast I use a practical example involving the speed at which two hikers are moving apart when they walk in different directions. hiking differntiationbrought to you by Livescribe

log, inv. tan. differntiation

eric — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:57:06 +0000

In this pencast, I review logarithmic function differentiation, and introduce methods to differentiate inverse-tangent functions. log, inv. tan. differntiationbrought to you by Livescribe

logarithmic differentiation pt.2

eric — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:55:06 +0000

In previous pencasts, I explore the usefulness of logarithmic differentiation. What if you come across an equation that not only involves logarithms, but trigonometric functions? In this pencast, I go over ways to solve these kinds of problems. logarithmic differentiation pt.2brought to you by Livescribe

advanced logarithmic differentiation

eric — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:52:00 +0000

Logarithmic differentiation isn’t only useful for problems involving population growth, or other scientific-related topics. Sometimes the method can be used as a special trick to solve problems that don’t necessarily involve logarithms. advanced logarithmic differentiationbrought to you by Livescribe

logarithmic differentiation pt.1

eric — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:49:24 +0000

In this pencast, I explore some of the uses of logarithmic differentiation. These techniques are particularly applicable to chemistry, as these techniques help us understand how chemical reactions work! logarithmic differentiation pt.1brought to you by Livescribe
