Course
First semester calculus
Description
This module helps the introductory calculus student visually see how the
linearization of a function is used to approximate the value of a function
that is sometimes difficult or impossible to evaluate. Through the applet,
they should be able to pick up the concept of good approximations using the
tangent line to a curve around a small neighborhood about the point of tangency.
Transferability
This module will transfer to any introductory calculus course.
