Dear participants,

Learning “Calculus” is fun. Besides learning the conceptual and procedural knowledge related to each Calculus topic, we will also provide you with an online-game-based platform so you will get more hands-on experience and become familiar with real-life problem applications. As you will see below, many animations, useful cursor buttons and other items are embedded in these two exercise sets to provide you with a self-learning experience. Moreover, if two students are available you may choose to work together or individually using the game theory strategies. Through solving different types of problems in a real time mode, students can learn from each other, exchange ideas through the chat box and discuss the problems through Zoom. Typically, after you have finished these exercise sets, if you gave any incorrect answers, we also provide you with a few extra problem sets to polish your problem solving skills through a recommendation system. Please read the instructions before taking any action.

We sincerely hope you enjoy working on these exercises and have as much fun as we do!

Please visit this site from time to time. You will find the latest developments and applications of Calculus and surprises when you work on these project questions.

After first looking at/checking out the two projects below, please help us by doing two separate surveys. The surveys are located on the same websites as the exercise sets.

The survey only takes one minute!

Thank you very much!

Yours truly,

The Calculus of Project Teams

親愛的同學,

學習“微積分”很有趣。除了學習與微積分主題相關的概念和程序知識外,我們還將為同學們提供一個基於在線遊戲的平台,讓同學們獲得更多的實踐經驗並熟悉現實生活中的問題應用。正如同學們將在下面看到的,這兩個練習集中嵌入了許多動畫、互動選項和其他項目,為同學們提供多元化的自學體驗。此外,如果有兩名同學同時使用,同學可以選擇一起工作或單獨使用博弈論策略。通過實時解決不同類型的問題,同學可以互相學習,通過聊天框交流想法,通過Zoom討論問題。通常,在同學完成這些練習集後,如果同學給出了任何錯誤的答案,我們還會為同學提供一些額外的習題集,用推薦系統提高您的問題解決能力。請在學習和使用之前閱讀說明。

我們真誠地希望同學喜歡這些練習,並像我們一樣享受數學的樂趣!

本網站會持續更新,你會發現微積分的最新發展和應用。

填寫問卷僅需一分鐘!

非常感謝你的幫助!

List of topics

Unit 1

Topic

Pre-calculus

There are two problem sets. Each problem set has twenty questions.

Before choosing Problem Set 1 or Problem Set 2, please read the tips below.

Please have a go and see how many questions you can answer within the specified time frame – 45 minutes.

These questions are of the following types:

  • 1. Insert answers inside the box using a MATH calculator mode
    • A mathematical expression
    • A numeric number
  • 2. Multiple choice tests
  • 3. Match the items
  • 4. Visualize the graph of the given function using the animation and the sliding bar
  • 5. Select either TRUE or FALSE for a mathematical statement
  • 6. Reorder/Reshuffle mathematical statements using a dragging button mode

Unit 2

Topic

Calculus

There is only one problem set with twenty questions.

These questions are solved using a cooperation and competition learning mode. In other words, two players acting like they are playing a prisoner’s dilemma game, work together or individually to solve Calculus problems.

Or you can directly solve each problem, in a person-computer interaction mode.

There are three selected topics in this exercise set, namely, limits, graph sketching, and integration.

These questions are of the following types:

  • 1. Insert answers inside the box using a MATH calculator mode
    • A mathematical expression
    • A numeric number
  • 2. Visualize the graph of the given function using the animation and the sliding bar
The players:
The Left Group (LG) and the Right Group (RG) find all the answers independently and simultaneously in a sequential format. Your group will know how the other group answers each question.
The rules:
For each group, attempts must be submitted before the time expires. Unlimited attempts are allowed for this question.
  • Before time expires, the four possible outcomes of the payoff strategies are:
    • If both groups cooperate, but submit an incorrect answer, then both groups obtain 2 point.
    • If both groups do not cooperate, then both groups obtain 1 point.
    • If the LG cooperates, while the RG does not cooperate, LG obtains 0 points while RG obtains 4 points.
    • If the RG cooperates, while the LG does not cooperate, RG obtains 0 points while LG obtains 4 points.
  • After time expires, if you do not submit any answer then no matter which rule you chose, your score will be -1.
The outcomes:
Any group that submits the correct answer will receive 1 point, while for any group that submits an incorrect answer, then the score will be -1.
The payoffs:
If your final score is higher than that of the other group, you will get a free hint that can be used for subsequent questions. These accumulated hints can be used for any questions.

Dear Students,

Our aim here is to provide you with an alternative way of learning Calculus based on questioning!

Each set is designed using different types of questioning techniques that are embedded in the Calculus problems.

These questioning types are:

  • 1. Sahin and Kulm's questioning types
  • 2. Walsh and Satters's questioning types
  • 3. Mason's questioning types

These questions are solved using a cooperation and competition learning mode. In other words, two players acting like they are playing a game, work together or individually to solve Calculus problems.

Or you can directly solve each problem.
