Handouts

1. Rational Function Handout: This handout illustrates the use of partial fraction expansions to integrate rational functions. There is also a Maple worksheet.
2. Section 6.1 Homework Handout: This handout illustrates the calculation of areas between curves. There is also a Maple worksheet.
3. Taylor Series Handout: This handout illustrates the use of a Taylor series to approximate a function more accurately than the straight forward formula. It also illustrate how to compute a bound on the error using Taylor's Theorem with remainder. There is also a Maple worksheet.
4. Kepler and the Orbit of Pluto Handout: This handout illustrates the different formulas and approaches to calculating the properties of Pluto's orbit including the average speed for 1/8 of a Puto year when starting at the perihelion versus the aphelion. There is also a Maple worksheet.
