Page 69: Part Two (introductory page)
Page 71: Do you know how fast you were going?
Pages 72-73: In Chapter 2, we encountered… // We can now solve this problem using limits…
RC: Speed and velocity, fairly well defined already. YB: Yup, it’s just a refresher.
Pages 74-75: In Chapter 2, we also encountered… // Limits can solve this problem too.
Pages 76-77: This basic formula is called the derivative… // Derivatives get their name because…
ME: a comma after Dee for a pause, “DEE, DEE X OF EFF OF X” might make it easier to read. YB: I see your point but I think it’s too confusing.
RC: Nice pronunciation tip: “You can say it out loud as….” YB: Thanks!
RC: Analogies are nice. It’s great that the function is actually illustrated as sloped to reinforce that. YB: Thanks!
Pages 78-79: For a simple example… // Next, let’s calculate…
WM: Page 78 – do you want a character thinking “h only approaches 0- it never equals 0 exactly, so we are never dividing 0 by 0”. Might be overkill. YB: If we have space I think this is a great idea! I’m not sure how to do this, but I’ve suggested a couple of options to Grady.
Pages 80-81: There’s also some nice intuition… // In physics, for example…
MB: Define ~, the “approximately equal” symbol. YB: I think this is clear from context.
Page 82: Approximations and intuition…
