The purpose of this page is twofold.
One purpose is so that I can have a library of resources that I can always
find with short descriptions to help determine quickly if it is the resource
I am looking for or not. Another purpose is so that others might find something
here useful as well. Note that not all of these resources were created by me;
such resources are indicated by an asterisk (*). |

Cutting up the Two Holed Torus [ppt] |
|
Mr. Super Torus Guy describes how a
two holed torus can be cut up, resulting in a polygonal representation. The
polygon is further cut and glued together to arrive at the standard
representation of a torus by an octagon with identifications. The torus is
cut up three different ways. The process is described both pictorially and
algebraically. |

Implicit Differentiation [ppt] |
|
A short power point presentation
emphasizing the chain rule part of implicit differentiation. Compares the
derivatives of the top and bottom parts of the unit circle with implicit
differentiation of the formula x^2+y^2=1. |

Introduction to Circular Functions [ppt] |
|
A three slide power point
presentation introducing circular functions. Watch a point travel around a
circle face on, from the side, and over time to trace out the shape of a
circular function resembling the sine/cosine functions. |
