Today we discuss how to use the chain rule formula, dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx, to differentiate equations.
Using the color / light sensor, you learn how to program / build a line following robot, with switches and loops in the EV3 programming software.
In this lesson we differentiate a composite function e.g. y=(x+2)^2 using the chain rule. We talk about how to differentiate it the old way (by expanding first) and then how to differentiate it the new way (using the chain rule). It is a lot quicker to use the chain rule if you have to differentiate …
In this lesson we utilise the gyro sensor to rotate the robot a certain number of degrees. We then use this concept to make the robot travel around a square.
Following the previous lesson where we differentiated the displacement equation to get the velocity equation, we now differentiate the velocity equation to get the acceleration equation.
An investigation into how to move your robot exactly a certain amount of centimetres.
Today we apply what we have learned in differentiation to differentiate a displacement equation to give us the velocity equation.
In this lesson we learn how to use the Looping block in combination with the Wait Until block to make robot travel around the room indefinitely.
In this lesson we talk about some of the different notations you will come across when dealing with calculus that mean the same thing (e.g. y=f(x), dy/dx=f'(x)=y’).
In this lesson we learn how to use the Wait Until block in the Lego Mindstorm EV3 software with the Ultrasonic sensor so you can make a robot respond to its surroundings based on how far away the objects are in front of it.
