Pete Horton - North Harris County College
a.k.a. "The Man of Knowledge"
Will the real L'Hopital's Rule please stand up?
And other things that make you go hmm.
For the most part L'Hopital's Rule isn't stated to its fullest extent
in Calculus books. I'll show why it can be extended and when it does or doesn't apply, derive a more powerful Nth
Derivative Test using only basic Calculus ideas, look at the arclength and surface area of revolution formulas
in a thought provoking way, examine the continuity and differentiability of powers of the Popcorn function (microwave
not required), and also look at the famous continuous, but nowhere differentiable Blancmange function.
