I think that a student not well versed in how to perform calculations will not do well with the theory. Last night in the calculus class I am currently teaching a student could not correctly translate the fact that f is increasing where f' > 0. This on a problem where f' was linear. He just stared blankly at the inequality 2x-3>0. Anyone well versed in this sort of calculation is not going to fumble around at this problem. He thinks calculus is the problem when it's his knowledge of algebra that hinders him.

I'd be very interested to hear your opinion about a book I've been working on. It's a 3-in-1 combo, math+mech+calc, I wanted to teach mechanics and calculus in an integrated manner and I realize, from 15 years of private tutoring, I need to review all the high school math material because many students don't know the basic. Please drop me a line if this sounds interesting. Email in profile.
