What part, if any, of chapter one in Calculus books do you cover? This
question has always caused me a great deal ofhought. I know people that spend
a month on this chapter, I have ususally spent the first week on it. My
current train of thought is to not spend anytime on this chapter and then do
little 'mini' algebra reviews as needed. I have a hard time wanting to spend
anytime on it because students are suppose to be ready for calculus. What
good does it do the student that is ready to spend any time on this chapter?
Just some thoughts I am mulling over. Any words of wisdom from all of you
experienced Calc teachers?
