Here’s an open thread for questions about Test #2. Use your LaTeX skills to put the questions into nice-looking math if you want….
Here are several resources to help prepare for Test #2. Since Test #1, we have done the following:
Graphed transformations of secant, cosecant, tangent, and cotangent
Categorized equations as identities and conditional equations
Proved that some equations are identities and proved that others are not.
Derived the most commonly used trigonometric identities.
Used trigonometric identities to calculate exact values, to simplify expressions, and to assist in verifying that certain equations are identities.
Attached are three files to help you prepare for the exam on Friday.
a list of learning objectives and practice problems from the chapter review …
I’m slowly getting all the course information for my Spring 2010 up here on the site. Click the links below (after clicking on the title of this post if you’re on the home page) or hover over the Teaching menu and click on the desired class. Right now, there’s the syllabus and tentative schedule of sections covered, labs, and tests. Keep an eye out, because I’ll be constantly updating those pages.

jsMath seems to work fine in Chrome, Opera, and IE 8 (compatibility mode), but not Firefox. Strange…Update:Firefox works too, at least on a different computer

This procedure is simply a generalization of the method used in Sects. 1-3 and 1-4 to obtain the equations of the osculating plane and the osculating circle. Let $f(u)$ near $P(u=u_0)$ have finite derivatives $f^{(i)}(u_0)$, $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n+1$. Then if we take $u=u_1$ at $A$ and write $h = u_1 – u_0$, then there exists a Taylor …
