The first section in the Calculus I sequence. We cover the definition of a function, its domain and range, and how functions might be used in calculus.
We learn the common method of visualizing functions and equations, the graph. Then we cover the vertical-line test for determining if an equation is a function.
We embark on a more detailed study of a few types of equations, then examine how to algebraically represent what happens when we move graphs in the plane. Split into 2 sections due to time constraints.
