Week 1

In Calculus I, the students do the following:

• Lines (parallel, perpendicular, slope)
• Functions and Graphs (functions terminology, graph of a function)Section 1.4
  
  If you have a way to read postscript files, here is another list of Examples of simple functional relationships from Chemistry

In Physics I, the students do the following:

• Introduction (vectors, vector addition, vector products, vector components)Ch.1, Sections 8-10
• Average Velocity, Instantaneous Velocity and Average Acceleration, Instantaneous Acceleration Ch.2, Sections 1-4

1. Immediate Connections:
   • velocity as a limit
   • graphs of displacement
   • slope of graph of displacement=velocity
   • acceleration as a limit
   • slope of graph of velocity=acceleration
2. Long Range Connections:
   • velocity and acceleration applications
