Hey there!
Welcome aboard! Saw your edits to Introduction to differentiation. Excellent :-) --HappyCamper 23:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, keep adding the material as you see fit :-) We can build in subpages and stuff later. I'm not sure if it is necessary to introduce compound interest as a motivator for e - the compound interest is more a particular interpretation of the limit $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n$$. --HappyCamper 02:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, Oh, one more thing that I noticed as I added a comment to the front page. Try to place some exercises throughout any materials you author. Unless the student gets to participate in the text, their brain starts to glaze over and they may think they understand the article without actually being able to produce any results using the facts they were supposed to have learned from the article. You could either scatter the exercises throughout the text (ie., turn some of your statements into exercises), or have a section after the text with related exercises. This is akin to the teacher requiring student participation in a class while it is in session in order to make sure they're actually paying attention and not just mindlessly copying notes. :-) Ron 03:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
