Chapter 6 Sections

6-2 Antiderivative of the Reciprocal Function, and Another Form of the Fundamental Theorem
Objective: Find out how to differentiate a function defined as a definite integral between a fixed lower limit and a variable upper limit, and use the technique to integrate the reciprocal function.
Homework - Day 1: Q Problems 1-10, 1-25 odd
     Videos of selected problems: #1
Homework - Day 2: Problems 27-59 odd, 60-63 all

6-3 The Uniqueness Theorem and Properties of Logarithmic Functions
Objective: Learn the uniqueness theorem for derivatives, and use it to prove that ln x, defined as an integral, is a logarithmic function and has the properties of logarithms.  Use these properties to differentiate logarithmic functions with any acceptable base.
Homework - Day 1: Q Problems 1-10, 1-13 odd
