Lecture Notes 21 (Friday 10/16)

Hi all,

Here are the 9-10 Lecture Notes.

Here are the 12-1 Lecture Notes.

Today the Professor covered logarithmic differentiation through a few examples and began discussing the next section Related Rates. He motivated the discussion with an example relating to a catastrophe that happened at a space station where Math 1A could have been used to prevent any damage. He then went over a general overview of the techniques involved in relating the rates of change of two quantities and the different notations associated with this process.

The homework set today is to find the derivative of y=x^x and (harder) y=x^(x^x). See the 12-1 notes for a cleaner version of this. He also said he would send a link to a video about the space station catastrophe that you all should watch before Monday's class.

Best,

Branden
