My featured class this paper is Mr. Crumrine’s 3rd hour Calculus class. Calculus is the mathematical study of change, and is primarily focused on functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.

     I’m sure everyone has had one of Mr. Crumrine’s classes at one time or another, but I’m here to tell you that Calculus is different. With only 3 people in the class, it’s very laid back. And like college, there is no graded homework, only quizzes and tests.

     Because there are only 3 people in the class, we generally go at our own speed. This has proved to be beneficial, as we are ahead of schedule.

     So far in class we have learned about functions, limits, derivatives, and their applications. Soon we will start integrals, for which I am very excited. As this is an honors class, we will have a project in the Spring, but right now we don’t really know what that’s going to be. We may do a “Math in Flight” packet like previous years.

     So IN CONCLUSION (that’s for you, Mrs. Allen), Mr. Crumrine’s Calculus class is really great, definitely my favorite here at PHHS. I would highly recommend it to everyone interested in Math!
