Here are the answers to the first quiz which were deemed unsatisfactory for one reason or another: Chain Rule Examples.

In particular, for those with misplaced or missing parentheses, can you tell what the problems are? How about with the first example? Schechter talks about the general problem illustrated by the first example, as we also did in class. Stream of Consciousness . Take care to NEVER put an equal sign between things which are not equal. We are more optimistic that you can learn how to use the equal sign correctly; to motivate you we guarantee that points will be deducted for every incorrect use of the good old equal sign. He also discusses parentheses, Parentheses, but his discussion doesn't speak to all of our examples. Parentheses definitely have to be balanced. They also have to be used when necessary to render the mathematics unambiguous. BTW, unless you print the pdf file or jack up the magnification enough, the acrobat reader may not display all the symbols, like those parentheses. If you have questions about any of these examples, please ask either me or Mr. Baker.
