Today I took a look at the calculus book. It is pretty helpful. I tried to look through the chapter on derivatives to see if any of it made sense. I looked at the problems first, which probably was not the best idea, so of course I had no idea what they were asking me to solve. I mean I knew what the equations where saying, I could understand the notation and such, but when I went to check my answers they were not right and I could not understand why I got them wrong. So then I went back to the previous chapter to see what that was about. Chapter  1: Introduction to Calculus, 1.5: A review of trigonometry. I took a lot of notes on the chapter. Read it a few times. And then did some of the homework problems. They went ok, but I think I still have to work on them. I did not do that many problems. Now I have more to do. Which is great because I still may not understand it? I am not sure. But anyway I will start working on it again tomorrow and see how far I get. First the video and then the book and then the homework problems. Seems like a great plan to me.

And now for some math jokes that I recently heard and thought where funny:

Q: What did one math book say to the other?

A: Don’t bother me I’ve got my own problems!

Q: What do you call a number that can’t keep still?

A: A roamin’ numeral
