Document Summary
Okay, everything we have done so far has to do with learning about the derivative and graphing. Now is when calculus gets a little more interesting, when we go into applied problems. An example of an applied problem is a farmer comes to you for help in how to fence o his land. The idea is, he only has so much fencing material to work with, but he wants as much area fenced o as possible. But, silly me, we are in the fantasy world of calculus here, and in this world, many farmers just keep pounding you with these types of questions over and over until you start screaming to make it stop. Then, and only then, will they at least change the question a little to something more like: a certain area of land needs to be fenced o . Example: you are trying to grow a vegetable garden.
