Finished chapter 3, including inverse trig functions, and logarithmic derivatives. We also took the test over chapter 3. I always do terribly on tests when I think I know the subject matter, and this week was no exception. I'm really good at getting in my own head, and making stupid mistakes on tests. Maybe I'm just really lazy, maybe I'm the exact opposite, and too focused on certain things to see my mistakes in other areas. The trig functions, and logs aren't much different from the other derivatives we were solving for, just different formulas for solving. The main trend throughout chapter 3 is that the set up is super simple, and then the simplification with algebra is way too long. I'm really not good at seeing ways to simplify things, so it has been difficult. Also, +C. I adopted Eric's strategy, but the main flaw is that I don't look at my pink sheet
