Thank you, Jamie!

I am looking forward to meeting students and learners from all over the world in the study group.

My goal is to provide an easy introduction to AP, high school, or college calculus.

See you all there!

Hello I'm Jonathan

I'm looking to do this to get an idea of how best to help my students.

I am enjoying the conceptual approach to the course. Also, the use of "multiple representations" where the connections between a situation, code, table and graph are made. Familiarity with the basics of the language can be a tad challenging, however, learning by example is helpful, in addition to introducing options to the examples and to see how things change. I try to follow with a notebook where I can make annotations and work examples at my own pace. My mother used to say that "Mathematics are learned with a pencil" (not an exact translation, but it gets the message across: practice is important.)
POSTED BY: Heidi Liu

Thank you for the feedback. I am glad that you are enjoying the course, and I agree that practice is important for mastering the subject.

Hi Heidi,

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Are you sure you do not have multiple downvalues for f? Try ClearAll@f.

f[x_] := (x^3 - x^2 + 2)/(5 x - 3)
{Limit[f[x], x -> -2], f[-2]}

(* {10/13, 10/13} *)

No luck. I ended up opening a new notebook, setting the default context to Unique, from Evaluation in the Menu Bar. This also allowed me to reset my inputs numeration to 1 and retyped as needed. Is there a way to do that (reset the input numbering) within the same notebook? Thank you!

Hi everyone.

How are you doing the practice exercises? I don't understand how to use the practice notebook below the videos when I go to the online course. I'm not able to run anything to see the results in there.

Is it possible to receive notebooks of the exercises, similar to how we received copies of the lesson notebooks, so we can work with them in the Mathematica program itself? I just keep struggling going back and forth to try them...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Veronica,

I believe the user has to be signed in into the Cloud for the Scratchbook space to work (?).

I decided to open a second window next to the browser and work the exercises in Mathematica. I need to take my time to type in instead of copy/paste (that did not work for me), it helps me to practice the syntax of the language. I also have a few tabs open at the Documentation Center to look up entries that I do not know about, or not understand, or to alter how graphs render for example.

I am also curious about how others approach the examples and the practice exercises.

I hope this helps. Be well!

FYI, there seems to be an issue with the WSG Calculus week 1 quiz (at least with my copy)...

The wording for question 5 seems to be incorrect (it is the same as for question 6).
POSTED BY: Dave McCollum

Thank you for bringing that to our attention @Dave M ! We will fix this and redeploy the quiz ASAP.

Question 5 should read: Given that Limit[f[x],x->0,Direction->1] = a and Limit[f[x],x->0,Direction->-1] >> = b, what is the value of Limit[f[x],x->0]?

Is there a specific due date to this? It just has to be done by tomorrow, right? Will we go over this? We are allowed to retake right? If we retake, is it still that the initial score on the first trial is the one that is recorded? For example, I took it the first time and I got a 70% but I realized my mistakes and selected different answers and earned a 100%. Which score will be recorded in order to be eligible for the course completion?

Thanks to everyone for your attention to Quiz 1 of this Study Group. Each quiz covers topics that were covered the previous week during Study Group. Check your reminder emails for links to the quizzes and other links to Study Group recordings and notebooks. We will not be reviewing the quizzes as a group.

To further clarify, there will be a total of three weekly quizzes. You must pass all three quizzes with a score of 60% or better to earn a certificate of program completion. All scores are recorded, and your best scores will be counted. Quizzes are due by August 28.
POSTED BY: Jamie Peterson

Hi @Veronica Frans, Were you able to use the scratch notebooks after all? You should be able to click inside them, type in Wolfram Language code, and click Shift+Enter to evaluate the code. If you are unable to do so - let us know what browser you are using.

Formula with odd-looking curly bracket

The attached notebook and image shows a Plot statement from the solution to problemset 2 problem 2. Can anyone identify the odd curly bracket just before x^3 and before 13x^2/4?

The curly bracket is a representation of the Piecewise function. This code can also be written as Plot[{Piecewise[{{x^3 + x, x < 2}}], Piecewise[{{(13*x^2)/4 - 3, x >= 2}}]}, {x, 1, 3}]

Hi @Abrita Chakravarty ! Thanks for checking on me! I am new to the wolfram language, so I couldn't see any kind of "run" command. Then, when I saw in the Mathematica program itself that it's enter+shift, I experimented and figured it out! Took me a few days of struggles! But I can do it now! Thank you! :-) I hope others know now that it's enter+shift, too. :-)

Yes, please. I would like to have those stand-alone notebooks for units that we do not discuss in the daily study Group. I prefer to add some notes and to extract the online content by copy and paste cost a lot of extra time.
POSTED BY: Jürgen Kanz

Dear Devendra and Jamie,

I have been working on the Introduction to Calculus (https://www.wolfram.com/wolfram-u/introduction-to-calculus/), while taking this daily study group.

I have personally sent to you a number of comments (through the "Feedback" menu) regarding the Wolfram U calculus course including what I think some errors and/or incorrect answers in the Exercises and Quizzes.

For example, most questions in Quiz 8 are repetitions from the previous Quiz (rather than asking to calculate the area or volume of solids), and the question number 2, 3 and 5 do not have an accuract answer.

Could you please quickly check these comments that I sent to you (Please see the attached as well)?

Hello, Juergen!

It's not you. I got a different and the correct answer, also, using Mathematica of course. These WSGs are very popular and since I got a passing score I didn't report it. BUT, QUIZ 8 of the online course just blew up and now only 2 of my answers are correct whereas YESTERDAY I had only missed one: none of the choices on #2 are accepted but one of the IS the correct answer.

How far have you pregressed?
POSTED BY: Lori Johnson

Hi Lori,

Thank you so much for support. I have selected the "correct" answer in the quiz, but I do not believe it is correct.

Reasoning:

  1. Mathematica calculates the "correct" answer according to the quiz.

  2. If you take the "correct" result and you try to draw a parallel line of the secant through the calculated point, it becomes obvious there is a mistake.

  3. I have done the calculation with Maple as well (sorry Wolfram Team).

Here are the results which look correct and logical to me:

Tools >> Tutors >> Calculus >> Single Variable >> Mean Value Theorem Tutor Math App

My worksheet Part 2 Part 2 of my worksheet

In the "Introduction to Calculus" online course, Quiz 7 is the same as Quiz 8. And now, I'm catching up on other posts and see that this issue has been mentioned. Feel free to ignore.

One thing IS certain: one feels much less crazy when the developers have trouble getting code the give the desired results.

represents the exact kth root of the polynomial equation f[x]==0.

This was updated in version 12 and more info can be found here http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Root.html

The second root from your solution looks like this in InputForm

Root[-5 - 12 # + #^3& , 1, 0]

Dear @Devendra and @Abrita,

Here is another call. For some reason, the Quiz 10 (in Introduction to Calculus) does not allow me to click (mark on) the answer among the multiple choice. I suspect that is something to do with 'interactivity' funtionality issue (Not internet connection issue on my part, but something in the program that prevents a user (like me) from choosing a correct answer). Could you please quickly check? (Cf. See also the attached work).

Hi Hee-Young, I just tested the quiz. The interactivity seems to be working ok i.e. I am able to select the answers by clicking on the radio-buttons.

Hi, Hee-Young Shin! Hi, Abrita! Hi, Devendra!

I am having the same issue in Firefox, so I tried Chrome. There is a tiny horizontal progress bar above the scratch area and the quiz. The scratch area does seem to complete loading but the quiz never does in either browser. My current refresh has been loading for the last ten minutes. Safari takes you to the Wolfram home page when the link to the calculus class is clicked or pasted, so there is no point discussing that.

(30 minutes later) CHROME MESSAGE: "Connection Lost Unable to connect to www.wolframcloud.com.

You may want to check your internet connection."

There's nothing wrong with my connection because I'm streaming "Ms. Marple" right now, LOL!

I did what Abrita suggested earlier: cleared the cache, deleted quiz 10, restarted the browser. Still no success. Hope this information can help get to a resolution OR maybe it will just work later today :D.

@Chloe Allen, there are three different Wolfram U certifications available related to calculus! 1) To earn a certificate of program completion for the Study Group, you need to have registered for the Study Group, attended the sessions or watched the videos, and pass the three quizzes. 2) To earn a certificate of course completion for Introduction to Calculus, you must watch the course videos and pass the course quizzes. 3) To earn a Level I certificate in calculus, you must complete the interactive course and pass the final exam. The latter two certificates can be monitored using "Track my Progress" from within the course.

Dear Devendra,

Thank you for your expidited response. Do you mind if I ask you to do one more double check? This time, there is no marker (options to choose the correct answer) in front of the multiple choice in the question number 3 in Quiz 10. Thank you. Best wishes,
