Getting the Most out of this Blog
Students should feel free to use this blog as a vehicle for exchange of ideas and concepts. If some topics in Calculus are particularly challenging then try browsing some of the "Reference Websites" included in this blog. There you will find some neat tutorials for concepts we have covered in class and some great visualization tools as well. Ofcourse, Calculus is not without its history and so there are many links dedicated to the history of calculus and the history of math in general.

is there any way to write f"(x)in the notation of dy/dx?
Yes there is Jess. Essentially a second derivative is the derivative of a first derivative, right? So, it is a d/dx(dy/dx), i.e. "d by dx" of dy/dx. Hence the notation is d^2y/dx^2, read as "d squared y by dx squared.
This question is a good reminder for me to address this in class. So, thank you for the question.
