Doughnut Problem

Basically it's an easy box problem. You find the height using the total height minus 2x or whatever variable you want, and the width the same way. The equation ends up as a parabola thats facing down so derive and you'll get the maximum area.

This page doesn't surface on my server so whops! Sorry I can't help you with this one!


Piping Problem

Like most annoying problems, this one asks you to make a function from the piping and then set up an integral using your calculator. This one is basically all calculator work and is almost easy. Remember how to use your regression on your calculator!!!


Area of Virginia

Awww hell, another annoying one. But it's easy! It really is, if you don't believe me try reviewing Riemann Sums! Definitely easy. You calculate the are of Virginia using Riemann sums, and naturally the trapezoidal rule for Riemann sums is the most accurate (hooray!). If you still have to use the left, right, or middle, you're waay behind. If you feel like using your calculator again just use linear regression on Virginia, but you have to find points for it too!


Equation of a Squirt

An unusual problem yes indeed. Well this time you have to use regression of a polynomial to find the equation of water from a water fountain. Neat right? Err.... Use the applet found on this page to get your points. At least it's easier than the one of Virginia!


Taylor Series

A lovely site where you can blow out your brains making Taylor equations! Simple to use if you're not on dial up. Although I would rather recommend just learning the original equation for Talor series... it's easier than memorizing all the separate ones.


Conic Sections!

A happy tool to help you whittle the hours away making conic sections! You can create parabolas, hyperbolas, circles, and elipses by just plugging points in.


I'll have to admit this web page is actually quite boring. It's about derivatives and their basic functions. The applets help to prove how derivatives represent slopes, tangent lines, and so on by relating to exponential functions.
