Before we go any further, I
should probably warn you about my philosophy on graphing:
| PLOTTING POINTS IS
FOR SISSIES! |
That's right. I said it.
The official definition of a "sissy" is a weak or feeble person...
and, if you try to graph something like a parabola by making one of
those pathetic x-y charts
and making guesses... then you are
a big sissy! Real geeks graph with their brains because they
know what they're doing. It takes a heck of a lot less time
and it's more accurate. I once saw a Calculus teacher draw a
complete blank and try to graph a parabola by plotting points...
It got ugly fast. Don't let this happen to you!
There is a lot of graphing in the
first semester of Calculus... A LOT!

You'll be finding
areas between
two curves... |
You'll even be
rotating things
around and
finding volumes! |
