Calculus Problem of the Every Other Week

Sponsored by the North Carolina Association of Advanced Placement Mathematics Teachers

 

Every two weeks, on Tuesday, a set of new calculus problems will appear at this site.   Your class has two weeks to solve the new challenge problem.  Each problem set can earn your class 5 points.  Partial credit will be given but no credit will be earned for answers without explanation or work shown.  Be sure to give a reason for your results.

We invite solutions from any class in NC or from the class of teachers who are members of the NC Association of Advanced Placement Mathematics Teachers.   Discuss the problem, work on it together, share your solution with your classmates before submitting it for the challenge.   At the end of the year, the teacher of the class with the most points will receive a plaque honoring the work of their students. 

Once your class has a solution that all agree is correct, type it up in good form and e-mail it to:  Dan Teague at teague@ncssm.edu.
