Continuous Vs Discrete
An understand of discrete systems is important for almost all modern technology

Chapter 11
This chapter will be covered in the second and final exam.
Go over the note before you do your HW. Reading the book is very helpful.
For those of you who want to become a math tutor, this is the chapter that you need to fully understand.
DO NOT SKIP CLASSES.

Caution
Most solutions of the problems in this chapter rely on precise arguments. Please pay extra attention to the exact arguments and presentations.
(Especially for those of you who are using your
photographic RAM)

Caution
WebAssign HW is very much not sufficient in the sense that…
Unlike any previous calculus topics, you actually have to understand the concepts.
Most students need multiple exposure before grasping the ideas.
You may actually need to read the textbook, for the first time.

Come talk to me...
I am not sure about the correct arguments...
I suspect the series converges, but I do not know why?
I think WebAssign is wrong... I think my group is all wrong... I have a question about faith...
