An examination of a student question concerning a calculus problem leads to a discussion of some of the symmetric properties of a specific set of polynomials. (MP)

This booklet contains 11 modules (290 multiple-choice items) designed for use in the first course of a three-course calculus sequence using the textbook "Calculus with Analytic Geometry" (Dennis G. Zill). In each module, relevant sections of the textbook are identified for users. It can, however, be used in conjunction with any calculus textbook.…

Introduces a proof of Sarkovskii's Theorem based on the intermediate value theorem, making it accessible to readers with knowledge of calculus. The theorem deals with k-period continuous functions, functions for which fk(x)=x, where fk(x) is the composition of the f function k times. (MDH)
