I'm essentially my penis' guidance counselor. I can give it recommendations, and occasionally I'll be able to help it get where it wants to go, but realistically it's going to do what it wants to do.

so, a manager at work got promoted...he didn't know anything about it, neither did the GM? The guy didn't even finish his "agm" readinees book? WTF? I am leaving anyway, but this is confusing for me

promotion rarely has to do with competency.

Every single weekend the Colts are playing would be a good start.

I think I'll take some time off at the end of the month when they're building the patio and for the hot tub delivery. Other than that, maybe a Friday off here and there and then save the rest to tack on before Christmas vacation. If I saved it all until then, I could take off all of December.

The calculus final allows a double-sided 8.5x11 sheet of notes.

I figure I'll write out all the essential derivatives/anti-derivatives: trigs, inverse trigs, double-angle, half-angle, trig squareds, e, ln. A few of the special ones, like integral of secant, uh... think there's a few more specialties.

All the integration methods. Trig sub, inverse trigs, u sub (lolez), by parts, partial fractions (FU).

Then infinite series stuff. All the tests for convergence. AST, ratio, root, integral, divergence, limit comparison, direct comparison...

Beware of holidays! Being forced to see friends or relatives.

Think I'm missing a few of the tests. Also, Simpson's rule, estimation error, uh, couple more things. If space is permitting, which it probably will be, I'll throw on a few worked examples of some of the methods, because general rules don't help me, figuring out examples does.

Unfortunately, finding fully worked line-by-line examples is a little tricky, so I'll need to make my own.

I'm waffling back and forth between saying this should be doable, and more often thinking I'm totally fucked.

I'd peaked at right around $4000. Not bad for initial expenditures of about $3200. I'm back to that now.
