Today I read part of the next section of my calculus text, having finished the exercises from the previous section on Saturday. (I would have liked to read more, but the day was very busy in other ways. Sigh.)
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about the best way to organize my calculus review. Continuing to do all of the exercises in every section would be excessive, I think, and it would also take a very long time. I’m not sure of the best alternative. One option is to do all of the odd-numbered exercises in each section. That would be an improvement, but I think it might still be too much. Another idea is to read all of the sections in a chapter, then do the chapter review exercises provided at the end, perhaps going back to the section exercises for more practice on certain concepts. I think this may be what I will try first. I’m also open to suggestions, however.
