I got a good start to my second calculus web exercise, Introduction to Limits.
It's still really slow going; I love JSXGraph, but it takes me a long time to get the graphics right.
I need to write lots more problems for this exercise!

Rabbit, rabbit, everyone!
No one in any of my three classes here at NAU knew about the ‘rabbit, rabbit’ tradition—perhaps it's more of an east coast thing?
I updated my monthly stats for January, and also did my archiving for 2011. January was a record month, both for hits and for income. Woo hoo!

A belated Happy New Year to everyone!
Well, I've finally begun my Calculus curriculum!
I have a fantastic schedule this term, so I hope to be able to write one to two web exercises per week.
The first one, Average Rate of Change, took me forever (and it's still far from complete)—I haven't worked on web exercises in many months, and have forgotten lots of stuff.
Hopefully, future ones will go more quickly now.
Also, I put up the first “video’ of me talking about an index card, to see how this works for my students.
Enjoy!
