The reading and homework assignments for Week #10 have been posted. It is a little longer than usual, but not too much so.
Up to this point in the course, we have focused on the mechanics of computing derivatives. There have been a few motivational topics (e.g. related rates), but the focus was on the process of differentiation. Next week we begin investigating why one might want to do so. Specifically, we'll begin by looking at the information derivatives give us about a function.
Being a weblog devoted to a variety of topics. Including Mathematics. And Mathematical Finance. Sometimes with homework.
