Differentiation Rules (!)

I just deleted several paragraphs of text, so here's the summation. I'm enjoying teaching myself calculus. It's all fairly rudimentary differentiation, but I'm about 60% of the way through the material of the course I'm taking this summer. In a few weeks I'll be able to move on to integration and hopefully cover most/all of the Calc AB curriculum and prepare myself to be bored doing lovely review in BC next year. I still need to pick up Dan's book, which I have on hold at the library, and I need to pick up an AP study guide. It's amazing how much the College Board has finagled its way into the minds, lives, and curricula of so many entities. It's sad too.

That's mostly it. I've been reading a little about cold fusion. There are some great introductions to CF with a range of technical data at www.lenr-canr.org. It's the website of the project at which I'll be working. In any case, there are some really, really strange aspects to cold fusion of which I was previously unaware. There are all sorts of inexplicable transmutation products that can be produced, and many other weird claims. 'Twill be absorbing indeed.
