Quote of the Day:
"After years of finding mathematics easy, I finally reached 
   integral calculus and came up against a barrier.  I 
   realized that this was as far as I could go, and to 
   this day I have never successfully gone beyond it in any 
   but the most superficial way."    -- Isaac Asimov

Objectives:
The student will learn to take antiderivatives of 
   polynomial functions.

The student will begin to comprehend the connection between 
   differentiation and integration.


1. There are two branches of calculus:
    (1) Differential Calculus whose process is 
        differentiation and
    (2) Integral Calculus whose process is integraion.

2. Review:

4. Show overhead transparencies – Trial and Error

   Then generalize:

7. History of the Integral Sign -- "The Mintegral"

8. Assignment:  
   Read Section 7.2 
   p. 389 (1, 4, 7abc, 9ab, 13, 14, 16)
