Interactive Lessons for Calculus and Precalculus



The interactive lessons that I am currently developing cover Precalculus 

and Calculus topics.  The following areas are under progress:  

	Graphing Parametric Equations

	Investigation of Limits of Functions

	Investigation of Compound Interest versus Interest Compounded 

Continuously

	Investigation of Sequences and Their Bar Graphs

	Maximizing Area

	Investigation of Exponential, Logarithmic Functions and Their 

Applications

	Investigation of Graphs of Trig Functions

	Iterating Linear Functions

	Investigation of Complex Powers and Roots Using De Moivre's Theorem

	Investigation of Chaos Theory

	Investigation of Epsilon

	Graphing Inequalities



The lessons I would like to develop include (but are not limited to):

	Vectors

	Matrices

	Graphing the Conic Sections

	Graphing Surfaces of Revolution

	The Derivative

	Velocity and Acceleration

	Areas and Volumes by Integration

	Differentiation and Continuity

	The Mean-Value Theorem

	Numerical Solutions of Equations Using Newton's Method

	Graphs of Equations in Polar Coordinates



My goal is to develop a catalog of lessons to allow 80% of the two courses, 

Precalculus and Calculus, to be taught using these interactive lessons.  

Then, I would like to move on to the creation of interactive lessons for 

use in other high school courses.
