Calculus is required for many majors Cheap Detroit Pistons Jerseys , most obviously for engineering majors. Students majoring in biology, pre-med, chemistry, physics Cheap Golden State Warriors Jerseys , and other sciences are also required to earn college calculus credit to satisfy degree requirements. Many students who plan to go to graduate school are well-served by having taken calculus courses. Today calculus is offered as an online class by many colleges and universities, and these are great for self-motivated, independent students who have the discipline to stay on schedule and complete all assignments. You should have a good grounding in algebra, geometry Cheap Houston Rockets Jerseys , and trigonometry to do well in college calculus.
College Precalculus Credit for Satisfying Prerequisites
If you are a college student who is not quite ready for college calculus, then college precalculus credit may be a good option for you. Precalculus is not only valuable as a prerequisite for calculus, but it is also valuable in itself for a variety of majors. Precalculus covers concepts like algebraic operations, polynomial equations Cheap Indiana Pacers Jerseys , solving equations, and graphing linear, polynomial, exponential Cheap Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys , and logarithmic functions. You'll also learn trigonometry, geometric sequences, and the use of linear systems to solve polynomial equations. If you successfully complete a precalculus class, you should be ready for first level calculus.
Concepts Covered in College Calculus
College calculus builds upon the skills you learned in your algebra Cheap Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys , geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus classes and covers the basics of calculus. Here are some of the topics you'll cover in your calculus class:
Derivatives
Relative Extrema
Finding tangents
Parametric form of the derivative
Logarithmic differentiation
The chain rule
Derivatives in trig functions
Solving differential equations
Vectors
Infinite limits
This may sound intimidating, but if you have taken the necessary prerequisites and keep up with your calculus assignments Cheap Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys , you will most likely succeed, and can be rightfully proud of completing college calculus courses.
Keys to Succeeding in Your Calculus Class
Succeeding in college calculus doesn't require you to be a genius. It does, however, require that you attend all lectures and discussion groups Cheap Miami Heat Jerseys , complete all homework assignments, and prepare for your calculus exams. Do not be afraid to ask questions in class or to meet with your instructor during office hours to ask for help with concepts you find difficult. If you avoid getting help with difficult concepts, the class will become increasingly difficult, because new concepts build on previous concepts. As soon as you find you're having difficulty with a concept Cheap Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys , ask for help. If you find the class challenging, see if your campus has one-on-one tutoring. This can be very valuable for mastering topics in college calculus.
Making Higher Level Courses More Valuable to You
Whatever your major, completing college calculus courses makes your higher level classes more valuable to you, even if you do not major in a math-oriented field of study. Mastering the basics of calculus helps your general analytic and higher thinking skills and this gives you an advantage in just about any junior or senior level college coursework. Knowing that you put in the work and passed calculus can give your confidence a boost Cheap Minnesota Timberwolves Jerseys , and that is valuable no matter what major you choose.
RAMALLAH, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) has officially demanded that Britain annul the Balfour Declaration and instead issue a new one recognizing Palestinian rights, said a Palestinian official on Wednesday.
The Balfour Declaration confirms the British government's support for establishing a "national home" for Jewish people in Palestine.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki said in statements to the Palestinian official radio station, Voice of Palestine, that he made the official request during his meeting with his British counterpart Boris Johnson in London earlier this week.
Malki added "we demanded from the British side to issue a new declaration that would end the 99-year-old vow in which Britain commits itself for the Palestinian people's right to self determination, its support to the establishment of a Palestinian state and recognizing it."
"We discussed the historical responsibility of Britain towards the consequences of the Balfour Declaration and the necessary apology, if it had the courage to undertake its responsibility towards what happened to the Palestinian people as a result of the Declaration," said the minister.
Today marks the 99th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which is the name given to the letter dated Nov. 2, 1917, sent from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary back then, Arthur James Balfour, to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, head of the British Jewish community at the time.
The Balfour Declaration was developed following three years of negotiations between the British Government, the British Jewish community and the Zionist Organization before it was dispatched as a letter to be signed by Arthur Balfour.
The letter was presented to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who approved its content before its publication, and was officially approved by France and Italy in 1918, then publicly adopted by President Wilson in 1919, as well as Japan.
In 1920, it was adopted by the San Remo Conference which was held following the end of World War I and the Declaration was incorporated into the British Mandate.
