- S1 E11 - Trigonometric Integrals30. mai 201331minExplore integrals of trigonometric functions, finding that they are often easy to evaluate if either sine or cosine occurs to an odd power. If both are raised to an even power, you must resort to half-angle trigonometric formulas. Then look at products of tangents and secants, which also divide into easy and hard cases.Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
- S1 E12 - Integration by Trigonometric Substitution30. mai 201332minTrigonometric substitution is a technique for converting integrands to trigonometric integrals. Evaluate several cases, discovering that you can conveniently represent these substitutions by right triangles. Also, what do you do if the solution you get by hand doesn't match the calculator's answer?Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
- S1 E13 - Integration by Partial Fractions30. mai 201332minPut your precalculus skills to use by splitting up complicated algebraic expressions to make them easier to integrate. Learn how to deal with linear factors, repeated linear factors, and irreducible quadratic factors. Finally, apply these techniques to the solution of the logistic differential equation.Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
- S1 E14 - Indeterminate Forms and L'Hôpital's Rule30. mai 201331minRevisit the concept of limits from elementary calculus, focusing on expressions that are indeterminate because the limit of the function may not exist. Learn how to use L'Hopital's famous rule for evaluating indeterminate forms, applying this valuable theorem to a variety of examples.Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
- S1 E15 - Improper Integrals30. mai 201331minSo far, you have been evaluating definite integrals using the fundamental theorem of calculus. Study integrals that appear to be outside this procedure. Such "improper integrals" usually involve infinity as an end point and may appear to be unsolvable, until you split the integral into two parts.Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
- S1 E16 - Sequences and Limits30. mai 201331minStart the first of 11 episodes on one of the most important topics in Calculus II: infinite series. The concept of an infinite series is based on sequences, which can be thought of as an infinite list of real numbers. Explore the characteristics of different sequences, including the celebrated Fibonacci sequence.Gratis prøveversjon av The Great Courses Signature Collection eller kjøp
