Prior to March 30

Review the following, especially those of you who have been away from Calculus 1 for a few months...OR years. If you need to review any of these topics, make sure to DOWNLOAD each of these files and click on "Begin Slideshow" in order to view it with important transitions.



You should be able to differentiate all of these functions prior to starting Calculus 2

    • The problems are on page 1 and the unsimplified answers are on page 2

You should be able to integrate all of these functions using u-substitution prior to starting Calculus 2

    • The problems are on page 1 and the answers are on page 2


Please visit this discussion board every few days to discuss particular questions on each of these worksheets

    • You can post pictures of the work you've done or comments on particular places where you are struggling
    • Please indicate which number you are referring to and post your comment/picture under the appropriate section (Derivatives or Integrals)
