There must be a typo in question 2(a) of Assignment 2 for the distance course.  The given function is continuous at x = 2, when the question claims it is not.  I suspect that the question was supposed to be f(x) = [[x - 2]] which denotes the greatest integer function.  But, then again, maybe not.  Please contact the prof and let him know that there is something wrong with 2(a) since, as is, the function is continuous.

I wanted to make sure you are aware that my midterm exam prep seminar begins next week.  Part 1 will be on Sunday, Oct. 13 and Part 2 will be Sunday, Oct. 20.  Sorry, the first part is on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, but it is unavoidable.  I wanted to do Part 1 on Oct. 19, but the campus will be off-limits that day due to a Bomber game.

On Oct. 13, I will be covering from my book Lesson 2: Limits, Lesson 3: Continuity, Lesson 4: Definition of Derivative, and Lesson 5: The Differentiation Rules.

On Oct. 20, I will be covering more of Lesson 5: Derivatives of Trig Functions (including a review of Trigonometry and solving Trig Limits),  Lesson 6: Implicit Differentiation, and Lesson 7: Related Rates Word Problems.

The seminar runs from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm each day, in room 100 St. Paul's College.  You can come to one day for $40 or both days for $60 total.  If you have a coupon (which you received shortly after signing up for my Free Homework Help), you will be able to come for half-price too.  That's just $30 total for both days!

Note that you do not pay when you sign up for the seminar.  You pay at the door, by cash or cheque to "Grant's Tutoring".  To get more info about the seminar and/or to sign up, click this link:
