Modeling in math can refer to using math concepts to describe real-world phenomena, such as using equations or diagrams to represent real situations. It can also mean taking a math problem and translating it into a real-world scenario using tools, pictures, or physical demonstrations to solve it. Modeling connects math to the real world and is emphasized in both traditional math classes and applied math courses.
The narrator has come to the end of an ancient trap-filled cave system in search of a lost artifact. They are presented with two boxes, one labeled A and one labeled B, each with a sign making a claim. Either both signs are true or both are false. One box contains the artifact and the other will trigger a deadly boulder if opened. The signs say that at least one box contains the artifact, and opening box A will cause a boulder to fall.

This document is a syllabus for a summer 2013 Math 113 course. It provides information about course details
such as meeting times and location, instructor contact information, course description and goals, required text,
grading scale, exam dates, attendance and make-up policies, academic honesty, and classroom expectations. The
course covers classical and modern topics in number theory, logic, geometry, and probability with an emphasis
on problem solving and real-world applications. Grades are based on 4 exams, projects, and a final exam.
Two friends had a meal that cost $25 total and each paid $15, but the cashier returned $5 in change to the waiter. The waiter kept $3 as a tip and returned $1 to each friend. While the friends paid $14 each, totaling $28, and the waiter received $3, this accounts for $31 of the original $25 bill, with $1 unaccounted for.
A traveler comes to a fork in the road guarded by two figures, one who always lies and one who always tells the truth. The traveler can ask one guard one question to determine which path leads to paradise. By asking which path the other guard would claim leads to paradise, the traveler will be directed to the correct path regardless of whether they asked the truth-teller or liar.
Sarah always tells the truth, Sue always lies, and Sally sometimes lies and sometimes tells the truth. When Victor asked each sister a question to identify them, Sarah correctly identified herself as being on the left, Sally identified herself as being in the middle, and Sue identified the middle sister as herself, confusing Victor as to their identities.
A man makes three concentric beer rings on a bar by placing his glass down three times carefully. The bartender thinks the overlapping area of the three rings is less than one-fourth of the area of a single ring, but the customer claims it is more than one-fourth. They disagree on the proportion of overlapping area.
The document discusses various techniques for evaluating indefinite integrals (antiderivatives), including:
1) Using power rules to evaluate basic integrals like ∫ 4x3 dx = x4 + C
2) Expanding rational or negative exponents before integrating
3) Expanding expressions before integrating term by term
4) Simplifying rational expressions by factoring and canceling before integrating
5) Setting up word problems involving integrals to find related functions like total cost, revenue, distance over time.
This document discusses the chain rule for finding derivatives. It explains that the chain rule is needed when taking the derivative of a composition of functions, where an "inside function" is plugged into an "outside function". The chain rule formula is given as the derivative of the outside function multiplied by the derivative of the inside function. Several examples are worked through, applying the chain rule when the power rule alone cannot be used, such as when the base of an exponent is a function rather than a variable. The document also notes that problems may require using multiple derivative rules, like the product rule and chain rule, to fully solve them.
This document provides an overview of differentiation formulas and concepts, including:
1) The derivative of a constant is 0. The Power Rule states that when taking the derivative of f(x)=x^n, the power is brought down and the exponent is decreased by 1.
2) Evaluation of a derivative involves taking the derivative of a function and plugging in a value. The derivative f'(x) gives the slope of the tangent line to the function f(x) at that point.
3) Leibniz notation represents the derivative of a function f(x) with respect to x as df/dx. Derivatives are used in business and economics to find marginal cost, revenue
This document discusses key concepts related to rates of change and derivatives:
1) It defines average rate of change (ARC) as the slope of a secant line on a graph or using the slope formula algebraically, and instantaneous rate of change (IRC) as the slope of the tangent line.
2) It introduces the difference quotient as a way to define ARC and IRC algebraically without a graph by taking the limit as h approaches 0.
3) A derivative is defined as a function that gives the IRC, allowing it to be evaluated at any point without graphing by taking the limit of the difference quotient.
