Teaching Differentiating Functions through Solar Energy Data

Teaching Differentiating Functions through Solar Energy Data Classroom/Laboratory Activity A classroom/ laboratory activity titled, ‘Country Photovoltaic Energy Production’ from Sustainability Math by Thomas J. Pfaff, Ithaca College, USA, to teach differentiating functions – logistic and exponential, using a hands-on computer-based classroom activity that includes data of photovoltaic (solar) energy production of several countries from 1990 […]

Logistic and Exponential Differentiation using Solar Energy Data

Logistic and Exponential Differentiation using Solar Energy Data Overview As a high school or undergraduate Mathematics teacher, you can use this set of computer-based tools to help you in teaching introductory differential calculus; specifically, about differentiating logistic and exponential functions and the use of the Quotient (or Product) Rule. This lesson plan will allow you to teach differentiating functions- logistic and exponential, using a […]
