This quintessentially Mediterranean landscape blends centuries of artistic and architectural accomplishments with one of nature's perfect panoramas. The breathtaking terrain includes dramatic coastline topography scattered with vineyards, orchards, and pastures, often with enchanting views of the vibrant waters below.

Kind climate, abundant resources, and natural beauty have drawn people to this coast for many centuries, and the Greeks, Romans, Normans, Saracens, Arab Sicilians, and many others have left their mark. Pounds like Amalfi and Ravello are home to many examples of artistic and architectural excellence in past.

Oome column temples to Poseidon, Hera, and Athena are among the best preserved of their kind to be found anywhere in the world. Until the 1800s, the steep terrain of the coast meant that overland access to the region was possible only by mule.

While many oases of quiet can still be found here, particularly away from tourist centres, the Amalfi Coast has changed irreversibly since then. [Music]

Worked example: Approximation with local linearity | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

We’re told the function ( f ) is twice differentiable with ( f(2) = 1 ), ( f’(2) = 4 ), and ( f”(2) = 3 ). What is the value of the approximation of ( f(1.9) ) using the line tangent to the graph of ( f ) at ( x = 2 )? So pause this video and see if you c…

Graphing exponential growth & decay | Mathematics I | High School Math | Khan Academy

This is from the graph basic exponential functions on KH Academy, and they ask us to graph the following exponential function. They give us the function ( H(x) = 27 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x ). So our initial value is 27, and ( \frac{1}{3} ) is our…
