    Natural log (ln x) derivative question

    Homework Statement This is to help out a 40something calc student -- thank you all in advance for your help Homework Equations If f (y) = ln ln ln x, what is ∂y/∂x? The Attempt at a Solution I came up with 1/x, which I got by applying ∂y/∂x ln x = 1/x three times, is this...

    Can Anyone Recommend Resources for Teaching QP to Incarcerated Students?

    Thanks to all for your help. Right now, I'm prepping a lesson on plain old boring nonlinear motion, and am going to mention at the close of the unit how physics at the atomic level differs from the Newtonian concepts we are discussing.
