Finishing up Week 1

Today was the end of the "review period." We answered
some questions on the homework from Section 1.6 and
then began talking about the difference between
algebraic functions and
transcendental functions. Two
types of transcendental functions are the
exponential and the logarithmic functions. These
are discussed in Section 1.7. We reviewed the
relevant properties of each.
We then briefly recalled the trigonometric functions. We recalled the SOHCAHTOA version of sine, cosine, and tangent, and then expanded to the unit circle. Using the circle, we were able to show the periodic properties of sine and cosine.
On Wednesday, we move into Chapter 2, talking about limits of functions.
