This week in A.P. Calculus, we focused our attention toward taking derivatives of regular functions and composite functions. These two topics are not all that hard for me to understand. For most of the functions you can just follow the chain rule or follow basic rules of algebra to get to the bottom of a problem. Years from now I'm not sure I will remember rules like the product rule or quotient rule but I think it is extremely helpful to understand the process of taking a derivative, for which reasons I am a little unsure of. One thing that I do know that I can get out of learning this material is continuing to build my critical thinking skills. That is one of the things math has done for me, and I am forever grateful for that.
The toughest part of this unit (so far) is deriving composite functions. Functions inside of one another have always been super hard to picture in my head and separate and solve. It usually helps if there is a systematic method to solve those functions like a set of rules to follow to get to the bottom of the problem and come up with a solution. Other than that, I feel like I am doing just fine. Peace, love, and prosperity.
