3. Sign up at Perusall. Check the Perusall website for reading assignment.
4. Complete Preview Activity 1.1.1. before coming to Wednesday's class. If you would like to present any part of it please send me an email.
5. If you have completed Preview Activity 1.1.1, try Activity 1.1.2. Feel free to discuss both 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 on Perusall. Just make sure you explain your work and not just put some numbers there.
2. Complete Exercises 2, 3, 4. Please use the html version of the notes instead of the pdf version. They are at the end of Section 1.1. Using the html version, you should be able to check your answers.
3. Desmos link we used in class for Activity 1.1.2
4. Check quiz page for the quiz goals that will be addressed on Friday.
5. Read solution of Example 1.1.2 very carefully. Feel free to discuss that in Perusall.
2. WebAssign. There are five attempts for each question. This should be enough if you are careful before trying your next attempt. Always think about what mistakes you have made before attempting. For this homework, you need to use the algebraic mechanism we studied in class today to find the instantaneous velocity. Please do not try to use the "Help" function in the WebAssign ebook because the book takes a different path for the knowledge and will not give you the explanation that you can understand. If you are stuck, send me email instead.

3. Complete Activity 1.2.2. Feel free to discuss that on Perusall. Let me know if you want to present.
2. You should also practice Exercise 1 to 4 of Section 1.2 if you want more practices for finding limits.

4. Some of you mention that it is hard to read the mathematics in Perusall. In order to have better mathematical typesetting, you need to use mathematical function editor. The language used in the function editor is called LaTeX (pronounced as Lay-Tech, or Lah-Tech). To use the function editor, you have to click the button that has a capital Greek Sigma alphabet (Σ). This is after the color changing button and before the Emoji button in the comment editor. To actually use the editor, you have to be familiar with the LaTeX language. Here is a short intro of how you can use LaTeX. LaTeX is the industrial standard of mathematical typesetting so if you are interested in learning more mathematics, you definitely want to learn how to use LaTeX. I will be happy to meet with you to discuss how to use LaTeX outside of the class. On the other hand, I understand that not everyone is a math major, so using LaTeX in Perusall is not required.
