9.5 due March 3

This is a shout out to that awesome moment when I do the reading and then forget to blog about it before falling asleep. I was dreaming about proofs and definitions of functions...does that count for anything?

Calculus and math 290 meet...KAPOW!!! That was exciting. I think I forgot how to do integrals and derivatives though, so hopefully it doesn't come back full force. I did get excited seeing the derivative formulas that I had forgotten though. So it's really true that it was a study of composition functions that lead to the formulas for derivatives? I am still failing to see quite how that works...(are we supposed to understand it? Or was it just some "food for thought"...) I also believe that the dot has a few too many functions these days and I just know that I'm going to forget one in the testing center and accidentally multiply a composite function.

Lastly, what exactly is a "corollary"?  I know what a theorem is, and I figured that Corollary 9.8 was actually just a theorem, but now I'm not so sure. I suppose I will find out in lecture tomorrow. \qed
