Calculus Review
1. Let's start by reviewing the basics of calculus, including limits, derivatives, and integrals.
2. Limits: Understand how to find the limit of a function as the input approaches a certain value. For example, $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$$ means as $x$ approaches $a$, $f(x)$ approaches $L$.
3. Derivatives: Learn how to compute the derivative of a function, which represents the rate of change or slope. The derivative of $f(x)$ is denoted as $$f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}f(x)$$.
4. Practice common derivative rules: power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule.
5. Integrals: Understand the concept of the integral as the area under a curve. The indefinite integral is $$\int f(x) \, dx = F(x) + C$$ where $F'(x) = f(x)$.
6. Practice basic integration techniques such as substitution and integration by parts.
7. Solve practice problems involving these concepts to build confidence.
8. Review any specific topics your exam will cover and focus on those.
Good luck on your exam!
