- Third Party Resource Title: Illustrating Theorems from Calculus
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2021/activities/245712.html
- Description: In this activity, students use MATLAB to create and interact with illustrations of three theorems from Calculus: (1) Extreme Value Theorem, (2) Intermediate Value Theorem, and (3) Mean Value Theorem. The assignment reinforces the graphical interpretation of these theorems while teaching and reinforcing the basics of creating arrays, plots, and tables in MATLAB. Students also experiment with using MATLAB to find extremal values in an array and with finding roots of an equation.
