=Resources for Differentiation Unit =

Larson, Hostetler, & Edwards. (2003). //Calculus: Early transcendental functions// (3rd ed.). Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company.

This book provides the foundation of where I am teaching my lessons from for these sections on differentiation.

Bourne, M. (2009, February 19). //Interactive mathematics//. Retrieved from @http://www.intmath.com/Differentiation/Differentiation-intro.php

The Interactive Mathematics site provides links to many useful math tools including the one the link takes you to. It explains differentiation, rates of change, tangent, and slope. This site can provide useful information dealing with our current unit.

Smith, B. S. (Ed.). (1997). //Platonic realms//. Retrieved from @http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/dif_rule/index.asp

The Platonic Realms site gives several of the rules of differentiation. These can be a helpful tool to both the teachers and students.

Dendane, A. (2007, March 20). //Rules of differentiation of functions in calculus.// Retrieved from @http://www.analyzemath.com/calculus/Differentiation/rules.html
There are several Rulesand examples provided on this site for differentiation of several different kinds of functions. This can be useful for the students to get some extra practice or even as a resource for teachers.

Kouba, D. A. //The calculus page problems list.// Retrieved from http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/ProblemsList.html Here, there are a list of Problems that can be used to test the students' understanding of the material. It can also be used to provide practice to the students to make the foundation of their learning a bit more concrete. Once a problem has been completed, the student can navigate to another page that provides a detailed solution.

Khamsi, Knaust, & Marcus. (1999). //S.O.S. MATHematics//. Retrieved from @http://www.sosmath.com/tables/derivative/derivative.html

This site contains information such as the definition of the Derivative, basic derivatives, rules, trigonometric functions and their inverses, and other information similar to that. This can be useful as a resource to the teachers and students.

Karen. (1997). //Coolmath//. Retrieved from @http://www.coolmath.com/graphit/

This link provides an Online Graphing Calculator that can be used in class to show students what you are doing and allow them to learn how to interpret the output of a graphing calculator. There are a lot of other cool ideas and interesting lessons and ways to teach them on this site. I highly recommend it to math teachers for new ideas and methods of teaching, or if they just want an online graphing calculator.

Retrieved from http://www.runet.edu/~jgerlach/Calculus/CalcFormulas.pdf

This is a list of several Calculus Formulas, rules, and derivatives the students will need to know. There is no information for this other than the website because it is just a list that is common knowledge and can be found in multiple places. The formulas are useful tools for students and teachers alike.
