I like just to give this problem to the students to see what they can make of it. We’ve done instantaneous rates several times by this point, but all for piecewise-linear functions. That was easy; how ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by explaining how to "graph" functions, beginning with a basic cosine wave and then moving on to a piecewise function. This "math tutorial" demonstrates ...

Understand why piecewise functions exist and how to approach them in your math coursework. Many students understand standard functions but feel lost when they encounter piecewise functions for the ...

In this activity, students match a piecewise defined function to its graph, and in the process they find the answer to a joke: "What kind of horses go out after dusk?" This activity requires NO PREP, ...

Written in an easy to read, informal style, this book includes hundreds of exercises and provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica software program most useful to students.
