Ten + sheets of paper (front and back)...

Ten + sheets of paper (front and back), plus using my colorful new gel pens to make me want to do it and now I can write from memory what I wrote for Calculus yesterday, plus another third.

•  The two fundamental ideas of Calculus are:
1)  The derivative.  This is a way of measuring instantaneous change.
2)  The integral.  This is the sum of numerous pieces.

•  A tangent is a straight line that touches a curve at a specific point.
•  A derivative, as it relates to the tangent, is the slope of a line that is tangent to a curve.
•  The three main purposes of Differential Calculus are:  1) precision, 2) approximation, 2) maximum and minimum.

I think that part was probably the easiest.  The last third looks a little tougher.  I would read it right now to double-check, but my brain is processing.  I don't want to cause a glitch or a system meltdown.  LOL  I think it's time to step away from my desk and make some dinner.  😃
