1 Modeling Rates of Change: Introduction to the Issues
2 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Galileo Galilei ( ) was interested in falling bodies. He forged a new scientific methodology: observe nature, eperiment to test what you observe, and construct theories that eplain the observations.
3 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Galileo ( ): Eperiment, then draw conclusions. Sir Isaac Newton ( ) using his new tools of calculus, eplained mathematically why an object, falling under the influence of gravity, will have constant acceleration of 9.8m/sec 2. His laws of motion unified Newton s laws of falling bodies, Kepler s laws of planetary motion, the motion of a simple pendulum, and virtually every other instance of dynamic motion observed in the universe.
4 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Galileo ( ): Eperiment, then draw conclusions. Newton ( ): Invented/used calculus to eplain motion Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ( ) independently co-invented calculus, taking a slightly different point of view ( infinitesimal calculus ) but also studied rates of change in a general setting. We take a lot of our notation from Leibniz.
5 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Newton s Question: How do we find the velocity of a moving object at time t? What in fact do we mean by velocity of the object at the instant of time t?
6 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Newton s Question: How do we find the velocity of a moving object at time t? What in fact do we mean by velocity of the object at the instant of time t? It s straightforward to find the average velocity of an object during a time interval [t 1, t 2 ]: average velocity = change in position change in time = y t.
7 The Legacy of Galileo, Newton, and Leibniz Newton s Question: How do we find the velocity of a moving object at time t? What in fact do we mean by velocity of the object at the instant of time t? It s straightforward to find the average velocity of an object during a time interval [t 1, t 2 ]: change in position average velocity = = y change in time t. But what is meant by instantaneous velocity?

9 Drop a ball from the top of a building... At time t, how far has the ball fallen? Measure it! time (s) distance (m)
10 Drop a ball from the top of a building... At time t, how far has the ball fallen? Measure it! time (s) distance (m) How fast is the ball falling at time t?
11 Drop a ball from the top of a building... At time t, how far has the ball fallen? Measure it! time (s) distance (m) How fast is the ball falling at time t? A little trickier...

Eplore the geometric meaning of the definition of instantaneous rate of change at a point. 4. Apply the definition to each of the elementary functions to see if there are formula-like rules for calculating the instantaneous rate of change. 5. Use the definition of instantaneous rate of change and its consequences to obtain eplicit functions for the position, velocity, and acceleration of a falling object.

43 Theorem If lim a f() = A and lim a g() = B both eist, then 1. lim a (f() + g()) = lim a f() + lim a g() = A + B 2. lim a (f() g()) = lim a f() lim a g() = A B 3. lim a (f()g()) = lim a f() lim a g() = A B 4. If B 0, then lim a (f()/g()) = lim a f()/ lim a g() = A/B. In short: to take a limit Step 1: Can you just plug in? If so, do it. Step 2: If not, is there some sort of algebraic manipulation (like cancellation) that can be done to fi the problem? If so, do it. Then plug in. Step 3: Learn some special limit to fi common problems. (Later) If in doubt, graph it!
