Intro Courses The intro­duc­tory courses for math majors are MAT 215: Sin­gle Vari­able Analy­sis, MAT 217: Lin­ear Alge­bra, and MAT 218: Mul­ti­vari­able Analy­sis. Like the great major­ity of math courses at Prince­ton, these three courses are the­o­ret­i­cal and proof-based. The intro courses, espe­cially MAT 215, empha­size this mind­set and are geared towards teach­ing stu­dents to read and write proofs. These three are usu­ally the first math classes that math majors take at Prince­ton. How­ever, the math depart­ment is very flex­i­ble in allow­ing advanced fresh­men to skip some or all of these courses. Stu­dents who do skip any of these three should make sure they are very com­fort­able with the cor­re­spond­ing mate­r­ial. Another note is that rarely, peo­ple opt to take MAT 214: Num­bers, Equa­tions, and Proofs instead of MAT 215. The for­mer is a course which also teaches proofs and rig­or­ous think­ing, but in the con­text of clas­si­cal num­ber theory. Brief Course Sum­maries [Show]Brief Course Sum­maries [Hide] The goal of MAT 215 is to build the the­ory of analy­sis from the ground up, teach­ing stu­dents to think rig­or­ously along the way. The course starts by address­ing the ques­tion: what are real num­bers? It then intro­duces its stu­dents to impor­tant topo­log­i­cal pre­lim­i­nar­ies such as open and closed sets, com­pact­ness, and com­plete­ness. The remain­der of the course is spent on devel­op­ing the the­ory of lim­its, dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion, inte­gra­tion, sequences, and series. See below for a first-hand descrip­tion of MAT 215. MAT 217 is a course in lin­ear alge­bra, a sub­ject at the foun­da­tion of almost all branches of pure and applied math. The most basic math­e­mat­i­cal object this course deals with the vec­tor spaces, a struc­ture whose ele­ments can be added and mul­ti­plied by scalars. One exam­ple of this is the set of n-tuples of real num­bers. The major­ity of the course is spent study­ing lin­ear trans­for­ma­tions between vec­tor spaces and their close rel­a­tives, matri­ces. MAT 218 is in a sense a con­tin­u­a­tion of MAT 215: it gen­er­al­izes the con­cepts of lim­its, dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion, and inte­gra­tion from one to mul­ti­ple dimen­sions. Though some of the mate­r­ial at the begin­ning of MAT 218 might look famil­iar, fairly soon analy­sis in sev­eral vari­ables takes on a fla­vor of its own. In par­tic­u­lar, lin­ear alge­bra turns out to play a sig­nif­i­cant role, espe­cially the space Rn and the deter­mi­nant. The course briefly touches on the sub­ject of man­i­folds, i.e., smooth sur­faces, which are impor­tant in fields such as topol­ogy, dif­fer­en­tial geom­e­try, and Lie the­ory. MAT 218 con­cludes with a sur­pris­ingly ele­gant gen­er­al­iza­tion of the fun­da­men­tal the­o­rem of cal­cu­lus called Stokes' The­o­rem. First-hand Account of MAT 215 [Show] First-hand Account of MAT 215 [Hide] For most stu­dents, MAT 215 will be the first course they take in rig­or­ous math­e­mat­ics. High school math typ­i­cally involves apply­ing and some­times slightly mod­i­fy­ing a pro­ce­dure that the teacher has pre­vi­ously demon­strated. In 215, you will never have a prob­lem this rou­tine. There are some recur­ring tech­niques that you will learn to apply, but home­work and exams will require you to maneu­ver a lit­tle dif­fer­ently in each instance. Lec­tures fol­low a com­mon pat­tern: the pro­fes­sor presents a the­o­rem, sup­plies a proof or sketch of a proof, and dis­cusses the sig­nif­i­cance of the result. Rarely will your teacher stop to address the best way to han­dle a par­tic­u­lar class of prob­lems. A few ques­tions will be more com­pu­ta­tional in nature (e.g. does the fol­low­ing series con­verge?), but even these will go far beyond basic approaches (e.g. apply­ing the root or ratio test, though both make an appear­ance in the course). If this seems fright­en­ing, relax. A cen­tral goal of the course is to build your famil­iar­ity with this style of math. The begin­ning of the semes­ter will be an adjust­ment, but even­tu­ally, you will become com­fort­able with these sorts of ques­tions. For the stu­dents who choose to enroll in 215, it will likely be their most demand­ing and time-consuming course that semes­ter. Some will have enough pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence to com­plete prob­lem sets in a few hours, such as those who have par­tic­i­pated exten­sively in math com­pe­ti­tions, but most should expect to work a min­i­mum of 10–15 hours on assign­ments; with high prob­a­bil­ity, there will be at least one prob­lem set that takes 20+ hours. Stu­dents should also spend some time each week review­ing class notes so that they can fol­low along with proofs dur­ing lec­ture– as with any course that builds upon ear­lier mate­r­ial, falling behind is a bad idea. Basi­cally, you should be ready to work really hard. But there is good news: 215 is famous for its large study groups. I rarely worked with fewer than 6 other peo­ple– all of us strug­gling, but strug­gling together. Office hours usu­ally turn into sem­i­nars, with the major­ity of the class attend­ing for home­work help. 215 is the clos­est that you will come to team math in your time at Prince­ton. As an incom­ing fresh­man, you will have a ready-made group of friends who will share your inter­est in math. These study groups became some of my favorite mem­o­ries from school. Recent Changes [Show]Recent Changes [Hide] The math depart­ment has recently seen its enroll­ment rise, which entails an increas­ing diver­sity in lev­els of prepa­ra­tion. Some incom­ing math majors will have already seen and done proofs, while oth­ers will have not. To accom­mo­date both of these groups, the math depart­ment will be split­ting up MAT 215 into two sec­tions. One sec­tion will intro­duce stu­dents to proofs more fully and grad­u­ally, while the other will assume expe­ri­ence with proofs and launch right into the mate­r­ial. Logis­ti­cally, the math depart­ment plans to split the two sec­tions like PHY 103 and PHY 105: have the two sec­tions start out together, but then use the first one or two prob­lem sets to dif­fer­en­ti­ate between the two groups. In addi­tion, many math majors would like to have their intro­duc­tory math courses done by the end of fresh­man year. This has resulted in the low pop­u­lar­ity of the last intro course, MAT 218. In response to this, the depart­ment is now con­sid­er­ing switch­ing to a two-semester intro­duc­tory sequence. Lit­tle is know at this point about how or when this will happen. Links to the Math Depart­ment Web­site [Show]Links to the Math Depart­ment Web­site [Hide] The above descrip­tions for the intro­duc­tory courses are fairly short, due to the fact that the math depart­ment has done a good job of pro­vid­ing infor­ma­tion about these courses on its web­site. Please see here for more details on course con­tent, sam­ple mate­r­ial, and other infor­ma­tion. The FAQ sec­tions of the pages for the intro courses pro­vide answers to ques­tions such as "how hard is this course" and "is this the right course for me".

Synopsis This book provides a clear picture of the use of applied mathematics as a tool for improving the accuracy of agricultural research. For decades, statistics has been regarded as the fundamental tool of the scientific method. With new breakthroughs in computers and computer software, it has become feasible and necessary to improve the traditional approach in agricultural research by including additional mathematical modeling procedures. The difficulty with the use of mathematics for agricultural scientists is that most courses in applied mathematics have been designed for engineering students. This publication is written by a professional in animal science targeting professionals in the biological, namely agricultural and animal scientists and graduate students in agricultural and animal sciences. The only prerequisite for the reader to understand the topics of this book is an introduction to college algebra, calculus and statistics. This is a manual of procedures for the mathematical modeling of agricultural systems and for the design and analyses of experimental data and experimental tests. It is a step-by-step guide for mathematical modeling of agricultural systems, starting with the statement of the research problem and up to implementing the project and running system experiments.

Synopsis With this second volume, we enter the intriguing world of complex analysis. From the first theorems on, the elegance and sweep of the results is evident. The starting point is the simple idea of extending a function initially given for real values of the argument to one that is defined when the argument is complex. From there, one proceeds to the main properties of holomorphic functions, whose proofs are generally short and quite illuminating: the Cauchy theorems, residues, analytic continuation, the argument principle. With this background, the reader is ready to learn a wealth of additional material connecting the subject with other areas of mathematics: the Fourier transform treated by contour integration, the zeta function and the prime number theorem, and an introduction to elliptic functions culminating in their application to combinatorics and number theory. Thoroughly developing a subject with many ramifications, while striking a careful balance between conceptual insights and the technical underpinnings of rigorous analysis, Complex Analysis will be welcomed by students of mathematics, physics, engineering and other sciences. The Princeton Lectures in Analysis represents a sustained effort to introduce the core areas of mathematical analysis while also illustrating the organic unity between them. Numerous examples and applications throughout its four planned volumes, of which Complex Analysis is the second, highlight the far-reaching consequences of certain ideas in analysis to other fields of mathematics and a variety of sciences. Stein and Shakarchi move from an introduction addressing Fourier series and integrals to in-depth considerations of complex analysis; measure and integration theory, and Hilbert spaces; and, finally, further topics such as functional analysis, distributions and elements of probability

Thursday, November 24, 2011 Tuesday, November 22, 2011 Who uses it? Isaac uses it. Actually, all of my kids switch from Horizons Math to Saxon 54when they hit the Saxon 54 book. As far as I can tell, Emma will be transitioning into Saxon as planned next year. What do you get? When I purchased the Homeschool Packet, I received the student text, solutions manual, answer key, test booklet. I also purchased the DIVE CD and Lesson Plan from MFW. If you plan to purchase the DIVE CD, be sure you check the editions of both the CD and the text to make sure they match. Where can you get it? Saxon math is published by Saxon Publishers. You can purchase the curriculum from Saxon, online retailers such as Amazon or CBD, and online curriculum stores like My Father's World and Sonlight. How much is it? Prices below are for Saxon Algebra 1/2. Prices vary for each text. Homeschool Kit – $74.70 (student text, tests, answer key) Solutions Manual – $40.20 (optional) Lesson Plan Booklet – $15.00 (Sold exclusively by My Father's World. According to their site: These plans assign the problems in each lesson that are most important to complete.) Why? It works for us! It does not work for everyone. My kids do okay with a black and white, no-frills text. They need the spiral teaching style of Saxon. This helps them keep concepts fresh in their minds. How we use it: Isaac starts out each day correcting his work from the day before if he scored less than 85%. I do this for a few reasons. Firstly, I want him to correct his mistakes so that I can see that he has grasped the concept before moving ahead. It keeps him from rushing through his lessons if he knows he'll have to correct his mistakes the next day. By not making him correct his lesson if he scores at least an 85%, it keeps him from feeling 'stupid' (his word not mine) if he makes an occasional mathematical error – missing a multiplication fact or adding wrong. After I check his corrections to make sure he got them right the second time, he does his DIVE CD lesson. These CD's present each day's lesson on a digital white board. Isaac can hear the instructor 'teach' each lesson while watching him work the sample problems on the white board. After the problem is written on the board, Isaac pauses the CD and works the problem in his notebook. Then, he hits play to see the answer. If his answer doesn't match the CD answer, he is to go back and listen to the 'lecture' part over again. If he still doesn't understand, he brings it to me. Last year, Isaac got about 1/3 of the way through Saxon Algebra 1/2 without the DIVE CD. He hit a wall and got to the point where he didn't want to have me lecture/teach him the math lesson. Isaac thought I was being critical of him when I was correcting him. It ended with LOTS of tears from both of us. It wasn't productive for either of us. So, we put the book away and didn't do math for the rest of the year. So far, this year has been a complete turn around. He has gained confidence in his math abilities. He enjoys the CD, because someone else is teaching him. I use the lesson plan booklet from My Father's World. I am not comfortable knowing which Saxon problems can be skipped (and if you do any research online you will see that parents are STRONGLY discouraged from skipping problems). However, I used the lesson plan book a few years ago with Logan, and it worked out just fine. One of the things Isaac hated about Saxon last year was that he had to do 30 problems each day. Now, the book tells him which problems to do. Some days he has 10-15, and other days he has 20-30. For some reason, if the book is telling him to 30 problems there is much less complaining! That is worth $15 in my opinion!! After the DIVE CD lesson, Isaac does the practice problems in his text and I check them. Then, he's off to complete that day's lesson. My recommendation: If you're looking for a no-frills spiral approach to math, this may be what you're looking for. Here's the order we (plan to) do Saxon Math: 4th grade – Saxon 54 5th grade – Saxon 65 6th grade – Saxon 76 7th grade – Saxon Algebra 1/2 (Isaac is a year behind this schedule due to the issues I mentioned above.) 8th grade – Saxon Algebra 1 9th grade – Saxon Algebra 2 10th grade – Saxon Advanced Math 11th grade – Saxon Calculus (over 1.5 – 2 years if necessary) 12th grade – College Algebra at the community college (dual enrollment) upon the completion of Calculus *This isn't a Crew review or a solicited review of any sort. It's my honest opinion of our math curriculum - that I purchased -, and I wanted to share it with you. Monday, November 21, 2011 We are not doing school this week. I am babysitting Monday – Wednesday. I'm cleaning house and running errands to prep for Thanksgiving at my house. My in-laws are driving down from Missouri on Wednesday – all 6 of them. A close friend and her family are coming over for Thanksgiving dinner – all 5 of them. My sister will also be coming over for dinner. We do the traditional Thanksgiving fare – turkey, ham, rolls, stuffing, cranberries, veggies, mac-n-cheese, and TONS of desserts. Friday, I'm hoping to get a little shopping done. Saturday, we are meeting friends in our downtown area to attend our local Dickens of a Christmas festivities. I can't wait! Sunday, I'll rest up for the next week of school. Maybe, we'll get the Christmas tree put up, too. Sunday, November 20, 2011 Well, this turned out to be a pretty productive week! And, it's a good thing since we are off next week for Thanksgiving. I'm babysitting one of my afterschool girls Monday – Wednesday of next week so we won't be doing any schoolwork. learned about verbals – infinitives and gerunds – and learned how to diagram them created some Monet-inspired artwork listened to Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery Logan: finished reading Around the World in Eighty Days and wrote an approach paper learned about Russia and took a European countries and capitals map quiz created some Matisse-inspired artwork listened to Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery I jotted down some notes as I was teaching this week. Here are a few things I observed: Isaac needs to memorize the prepositions so he can recognize prepositional phrases and objects of the preposition easier. Emma needs to memorize her times tables to eliminate the need to count on her fingers. Isaac and Emma have asked to do Latin and Spanish together. So, we will be stopping where we are so Isaac can catch up in Latin and Emma in Spanish. We will do them together for the remainder of the year. Logan needs to really work on managing his time wisely. He got pretty behind this week on his homeschool and college class work, and pulled an all-nighter to catch up on Thursday. I don't want this to become a habit so we will be working on time management after Fall Break. Friday, November 18, 2011 After reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Isaac read in his Lightning Literature text that Lewis Carroll would often sit in a room with his eyes closed and listen to the sounds around him. He would then turn those thoughts and sounds into what-if questions. Many of those questions wound up becoming smaller stories in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. For Isaac's writing assignment, he chose to write 50 what-if questions in the style of Lewis Carroll. I had to share some of them here, because they're funny! My brain just doesn't go to those kinds of places. Isaac's questions had me laughing out loud. I could never in a million years have come up with questions like these. What if the whole world was Disney World? What if Tom ate Jerry? What if all the parents burnt down Chuck E. Cheese? What if the presidents on money talked? What if calculators told you to figure it out? What if snakes turned into jump ropes? What if the Beatles lived in a red submarine? What if eggs and ham were really green? What if blondes made fun of brunettes? What if someone did not laugh at all while reading this? There really is never a dull moment in this house!! And, I like it that way! Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Tuesday, November 15, 2011 The College Prep Genius curriculum helps prepare students to master the SAT. The $99 set (a 25% discount) comes with the Mastering the SAT Class DVD, the College Prep Genius Textbook and a Student workbook. My oldest, a senior in high school, has taken the SAT twice and has plans to take it one more time in December. I have him working through this program in preparation for his upcoming test. Logan and I are both very impressed with this program. Jean Burk takes students through learning the secrets of the SAT. Logan had no trouble at all learning the acronyms that are used to decode the SAT. The twelve chapters cover all the sections of the SAT. According to the website, the program teaches students to write a great essay in 15 minutes and how to eliminate 2-3 answers immediately. Logan is really excited to see how high he can raise his score after completing this program. He's hoping to qualify for a scholarship based upon his SAT scores. He's prepping with College Prep Genius while I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed! Logan went on his first college tour Friday. Matt took the day off work, and they visited Dallas Baptist University. This is Logan's first-choice school. He has quite a few friends who attend DBU, and is really hoping to secure enough scholarship money to make it happen. Monday, November 14, 2011 This weekend we had the opportunity to watch a World War II reenactment. I must say that I wasn't very excited about the field trip initially. I was, however, excited to meet up with some friends I hadn't seen since September. It turned out, however, to be pretty interesting. The kids enjoyed themselves, too. Here are a few pics from our trip.

These are the skills that I will be assessing, but my teaching will often go deeper and cover more concepts. Having this focus allows students the freedom to know exactly what will be on the tests/assessments while exploring mathematics.

I am an actuary and one of the topics covered in our syllabus was Finite Difference, which is basically the same as Discrete Math. Discrete math can cover many different topics and is a fairly advanced topic. I have assisted students at a high school on Discrete Math as it is taught there
UNLV Math Competitions The mathematical competition activities at UNLV consist of a semester-long workshop on problem solving, the Annual UNLV Mathematical Competition, and the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. The local version of the Putnam exam is open to all undergraduate students at UNLV. The competition is typically held during the fall term in October. The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is the premier mathematical competition for undergraduates in North America. This annual contest began in 1938 and is designed to stimulate a healthful rivalry in mathematical studies in the colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. It is administered by the Mathematical Association of America and attracts a large number of contestants from nearly 500 colleges and universities across North America. It is usually held on the first Saturday of December and consists of two three-hour sessions of six problems each. The problems are challenging and require considerable ingenuity and insight, but little technical knowledge beyond calculus. In addition to individual competition, the participating colleges are ranked based on the performance of their three-member teams.
Book Description: Offering students step-by-step mathematics progression through the GCSE Intermediate-tier examination topics, and presented in separate units of work, this book is designed to encourage and support the students whether they are new to GCSE or preparing to retake the exam. Worked exam questions with examples are accompanied by examiners' tips which show students how to gain marks, and advice is offered on the planning of a revision programme.
To quote the Terminator, I'm back! After being absent for a few months while our office moved from the central US to central Europe, we are planning to spend more time in the next few weeks getting ready for fall semester. In addition to adding videos and practice problems in all subjects as we come across them, our main focus will be to more fully develop the multi-variable calculus pages, mostly in the area of vector analysis. As usual, if you have a specific area that you would like us to work on, feel free to leave a comment here or go to 17calculus and leave a message in the help box in the lower right corner of the screen. You can also email us at the address found on the about page. Make sure not to waste your summer by studying too much or too little. Spend a lot time relaxing but also take a few hours (at least 10) every week to go over some of the material from your spring courses so that you don't lose that newly-learned material. Also, keep an eye on your schedule for fall. Summer is a great time to get a head-start on your fall classes. Here are a few ideas. - Get your textbooks early, now, if you haven't already. Scan through them and read carefully the first 2 or 3 chapters. - See if you can get a syllabus from a previous semester (preferably from the same teacher that you will have) to get an idea of where your instructor will start. Start reading and studying now. - Read books on how to be a better student. You probably didn't learn how to be a good student before college. It is something that needs to be developed and studied separately. You will find some books in the 17calculus bookstore. - Go back to your spring semester material to review difficult material that you struggled with. This is especially important if the material was a prerequisite for a class coming up this fall or later in your degree program. But most of all, relax. Your mind and body need to rest after the intensity of later year. Take care of yourself with proper rest, exercise and nutrition.
Each Monday you will be given a problem set which is due the following Monday. These will be graded on how clearly you explain your solution, not just the final answer. Try to write so that the average student in the class could easily follow what you are doing without having seen the problem before. I encourage you to work together on exercises and in_class activities; but the problem sets should represent your own work. You may discuss the problems with me but not anyone else. As per Viterbo's academic honesty policy, each Problem Set assignment must have the following written at the end and must have your signature. "I have read and understand the policies of Viterbo College regarding academic honesty. I assert this represents my own work and adheres to college policies." Your signature is saying that the statement is true so please be sure you understand the policies. If you are unsure about anything, please talk to me about it. To save yourself writing simply write "Pledged" followed by your signature instead of the entire statement on problem sets after the first one. V. Philosophy Some of you may have had mathematics courses that were based on the transmission, or absorption, view of teaching and learning. In this view, students passively "absorb" mathematical structures invented by others and recorded in texts or known by authoritative adults. Teaching consists of transmitting sets of established facts, skills, and concepts to students. I do not accept this view. I am a constructivist. Constructivists believe that knowledge is actively created or invented by the person, not passively received from the environment. No one true reality exists, only individual interpretations of the world. These interpretations are shaped by experience and social interactions. Thus, learning mathematics should be thought of as a process, of adapting to and organizing one's quantitative world, not discovering preexisting ideas imposed by others. Consequently, I have three goals when I teach. The first is to help you develop mathematical structures that are more complex, abstract, and powerful than the ones you currently possess so that you will be capable of solving a wide variety of meaningful problems. The second is to help you become autonomous and self-motivated in your mathematical activities. You will not "get" mathematics from me but from your own explorations, thinking, reflecting, and participation in discussions. As independent students you will see your responsibility is to make sense of, and communicate about, mathematics. Hopefully you will see mathematics as an open-ended, creative activity and not a rigid collection of recipes. And the last is to help you become a skeptical student who looks for evidence, example, counterexample and proof, not simply because school exercises demand it, but because of an internalized compulsion to know and to understand, Fraleigh, John, A First Course in Abstract Algebra, Addison-Wesley, 1989. Gallian, Joseph, Contemporary Abstract Algebra, D.C. Heath, 1990. Hungerford, Thomas, Abstract Algebra, Saunders, 1990. Solow, Daniel, How to Read and Do Proofs, John Wiley & Sons, 1990.. VII. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT "If you are a person with a disability and require any auxiliary aids, services or other accommodations for this class, please see me and Wayne Wojciechowski, The Americans With Disabilities Act Coordinator (MC 320_796- 3085) within ten days to discuss your accommodation needs."
PPC PROGRAM and ALEKS MATH WORKSHOP The PPC (Pre-pre-calculus) program is the component of the Math Workshop which reviews your high school algebra in order to bring you up to the level needed for your required or desired M and Q classes. This requirement can be met by completing an on-line math program "ALEKS," (an acronym for "Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces"). ALEKS is a web-based program for the assessment and individualized teaching of mathematics for the purpose of raising your Wittenberg University math placement score to a level 22, 23 or 24. ALEKS is the new way to learn math on the World-Wide-Web. By knowing exactly which math concepts the student has mastered, which are shaky, and which are new but within reach, ALEKS enables the student to work on those concepts the student is most ready to learn. ALEKS is a full-time automated tutor, including explanations, practice, and feedback. ALEKS closely interacts with the student, continuously updating its precise map of the student's knowledge state. ALEKS combines the advantages of one-on-one instruction and evaluation with the convenience of being on-call, on your computer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To learn more about ALEKS, please visit Level 22 is referred to as Minimal Algebra (MA) and students can take those classes requiring that placement to fulfill their math requirements. Students can choose from such courses as Computing in the Arts & Sciences, Principles of Economics, Language of Mathematics, Math for Elem/Mid-School Teachers, Logic and Critical Reasoning, and Astronomy. Level 23 (MS) - Needed for algebra based statistics courses Required for students majoring in Forestry and Environmental Studies, Occupational Therapy, Geography, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. Level 23 is referred to as Math for Stats (MS) and students needing this placement for their major are required to take Statistics. Level 24 is needed by students who will need to take Pre-Calculus and then continue on with Calculus. In order to proceed with the ALEKS program, first visit the Math Workshop for advising so that all your questions and concerns can be addressed along with providing you explanations of the program in detail. In order for a student to register as an ALEKS user, they will need an Access code. They will also need a Course codeprovided by the Math Workshop. There will be three different course codes to correspond to the math placement levels of 22, 23, and 24. When the student registers with the ALEKS system, their name is entered into the database and records of their progress are kept. After being advised about the ALEKS program, visit the Wittenberg University Bookstore to purchase an Access code. DO NOT OPEN the packaging until you return to the Math Workshop. (The access code can also be purchased online under the direction of the Math Workshop). Then follow these steps: NOTE: Your first time into the ALEKS system must be done in the Math Workshop. When you return to the Math Workshop, the receptionist will direct you to a head tutor who will then assist you in the following steps: 1. Go to the web address 2. This is the home page. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, click on "Register with ALEKS" (first time users). 3. Under "For Students", click on REGISTER 4. At the end of this very long paragraph, click on I ACCEPT 5. At the beginning of registration, you will be asked for your Access Code. It is on a sticker inside the back cover of your booklet. This access code is good for only 18 weeks from the time you register. Enter the access code in the spaces provided and click on "Next." 6. There are 4 sections listed for you to complete. It is essential that you allow yourself at least an hour to complete the Registration, Tutorial and the Assessment. 7. Near the conclusion of the Registration, you will receive a login name and password, with an option to change the password assigned to you. Every time you log on from the ALEKS website you will enter the Login Name and Password provided at this registration. These should be noted carefully as they will be essential for all further work with ALEKS. If by some chance you lose your Login Name or Password, contact your instructor. 8. Following registration you will be asked for your Course Code. The course code is given to you by the Math Workshop. You will receive a course code based the math placement level of 22, 23 or 24. Enter this in the spaces provided and click on "Next." 9. After registration, you will enter a brief Tutorial on the use of the ALEKS input tools, called the "Answer Editor." This is intended to show you how to input your answers. 10. You will directly proceed from the Tutorial to your first Assessment. You will need to have paper and pencil on hand in order to answer the open-ended problems (no multiple-choice). This initial assessment is adaptive and variable in length. Some of you will have very short assessments whereas others will have assessments that are considerably longer. This assessment is to determine where you should start and it will show what areas of knowledge you already know and what areas you will need to work on. It is extremely important that you answer truthfully and honestly, and if you don't know the answer, click on the key "I don't know." 11. At the conclusion of the assessment, you will be given a brief Tutorial on how to interpret the Assessment Report. This will be in the form of one or more color-coded pie charts with explanations. Please ask a tutor if help is needed in evaluating your assessment. 12. You can then enter the Learning Mode by clicking on one of the topics contained in your pie chart (topics you are "ready to learn"). In the Learning Mode, you will be required to solve an appropriate number of practice problems correctly before the system will conclude that the concept has been mastered. The Learning Mode will provide you with many resources to help you in mastering a particular concept, which includes explanations, practice problems, feedback on problem solutions and access to a student Mathematical Dictionary. (NOTE: feel free to ask any math tutor working here for additional assistance.) As you master topics, you will begin to "add concepts to your pie." 13. You will continue to work in the Learning Mode until you are requested to complete a progress assessment. These assessments are automatically prompted by ALEKS when you have spent sufficient time in the Learning Mode or when you have made adequate progress. 14. You can end a session with ALEKS in either of two ways: 1) Click on the "Exit" button in the upper left-hand corner of your browser window or 2) simply close the window in one of the ways provided by your browser. Note, if no input is supplied to the system for 15 minutes, the session will automatically terminate. No matter which way you exit, ALEKS will return you to the same place when you next log on. 15. When you have covered 100% of the material, you will be required to complete the final assessment in the Math Workshop. 16. Once you have completed ALEKS and attained an 80% on the final assessment, your score will manually be changed to reflect your achieved math placement level. Remember this: It is highly suggested that you schedule time for ALEKS as you would a class. Since the access code is only valid for 18 weeks, spend at least 3 to 5 hours on it per week. You are more than welcome to use the Math Workshop to schedule time and work on ALEKS here. This is extremely advantageous due to the tutors that are always available for your assistance. If your ALEKS account expires and you would like your account extended, please contact the Math Workshop Coordinator (Director) for assistance with this process.

CLASS POLICIES Algebra II 2009-2010 Supplies It is your responsibility to bring the following supplies to class EVERY DAY. You will not be allowed to return to your locker or call home to get supplies or homework that you should have brought to class.  Assignments that are due!  #2 pencils and a pen—red, blue, pink, green…..no black ink, please.  3 ring notebook —for MATH ONLY!  Loose-leaf notebook paper  Textbook—covered at all times!  Graphing calculator Notebook Your notebook will become a valuable resource for the class. You must keep it organized! You should keep all math handouts, notes, and assignments in your notebook, along with extra notebook paper and graph paper. I expect you to keep all of your papers organized by date. I also expect you to write down your assignments every day. You must keep an assignment sheet in the front of your notebook. It is my intention that you learn valuable organization skills, and that you learn to use your math materials to study for quizzes and tests. To keep you on your toes and make sure you keep up with your notebook on a daily basis, a "pop" notebook quiz is possible at any time. Bring it with you to class EVERY day. Assignments  All assignments must be done in pencil. (No ink—not even erasable pens!)  Write a heading in the upper right corner—name, class/period, and date.  Write the assignment on the top line of the paper.  Be proud of your work and turn in neat and legible papers.  You must follow all written and oral directions carefully and SHOW ALL WORK, including diagrams that must be drawn and labeled correctly or sentences that justify your answer (when required). No work (or incomplete work) means no credit for the answer! I will not accept answers without appropriate work!  All grading must be done with a pen. (No black ink—I want to be able to see it well!)  All assignments are due the next class period unless otherwise stated. Late work is NOT accepted. An assignment that is not turned in on time will receive a grade of ZERO. If your homework is not with you in the classroom before the tardy bell on the day it is due, then it is not on time! You will NOT be able to go to your locker, call home and ask your mom to bring it, etc.  Calculators may be used when the teacher states they are allowed.  All calculator memories may be cleared before quizzes and/or tests. Absences Due to Illness, Doctor Appointments, Etc.  It is YOUR responsibility to get notes from a classmate and find out the assignment that you missed when you were absent from school. ONE day for each day absent is allowed to complete make-up work, unless other arrangements have been made with the teacher. Work that is not turned in to the teacher with respect to this timeline will be recorded as a ZERO.  If you are absent from class for any reason that has not been pre-arranged, then you must come to my room before the end of the FIRST day you return to school to turn in homework that was due, get your make-up assignments, and find out what you will be responsible for the next time the class meets. Example: You are absent on B-day and miss this class. You return to school on A-day. You must stop by my room to turn in work and get the work you missed, even though this class does not meet again until B-day. Only by doing this can we make certain that you do not fall too far behind in your work.  If you are present for any portion of the school day, then you are responsible for turning in assignments that are due, as well as getting new assignments for that day. Example: You miss B5 because of a doctor's appointment, but then come to school. If you missed this class, you must come see me that day! Again, the purpose of this policy is to keep you from getting too far behind in your work.  If you are absent on the day of a quiz or test, you will be expected to take that quiz or test on the FIRST day you return to class, unless you have been absent for two or more consecutive class periods. If you have been absent for two or more consecutive class periods, the teacher will arrange a time/date with you. Absences for Fieldtrips, Sports, Organizations, Etc.  It is YOUR responsibility to inform the teacher if you know that you will miss class for a fieldtrip, a sporting event, a student council function, or any other pre-arranged school activity. You must talk to the teacher in person and make arrangements for your work BEFORE that day arrives.  Unless other arrangements are made with the teacher, you must turn in any assignment that is due that day BEFORE you leave for the school activity.  Unless other arrangements are made with the teacher, you must take any quiz or test that is scheduled for that day BEFORE you leave for the school activity.  Failure to make arrangements with the teacher before a school-related absence may result in a grade of ZERO for any work that is missed or not turned in on time, including homework, quizzes, tests, and projects. Citizenship  While in class, you are expected to follow all school rules as outlined in the Student-Parent Handbook and Code of Conduct.  You are expected to arrive in class on time with all necessary supplies and assignments. You should be IN YOUR SEAT AND READY TO WORK BEFORE THE TARDY BELL RINGS. Also, remain in your seat until the teacher dismisses you (not the bell).  Be prepared, pay attention, and participate in class activities.  Be positive and cooperative in class.  Treat everyone with the same fairness and respect with which you expect to be treated.  Every effort should be made to take care of personal needs between classes.  Due to allergy/asthma issues, do NOT apply cosmetic items such as perfume, cologne, body spray, lotion, hair spray, nail polish, etc., in the classroom. Do not bring these items to class. Use these things at home before you get here!  Food, drinks, and gum should be reserved for lunch time. Do not bring them to class.  The technology available in the classroom (laptops, calculators, Navigator system, etc.) should be treated with care at all times. Students who do not use equipment properly will be referred to the administration.  Math class is for math work only! If you work on assignments for another class while you are supposed to be working on math, the assignment will be collected and will not be returned to you. This means you risk earning a zero in that other class.  Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) and laptops may not be used in class without permission from the teacher. As a general rule, you will take notes in class on handouts from the teacher or on your own notebook paper. Also, remember that your textbook must be with you every day; you will not use your laptop for a textbook in class.  Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. This includes "sharing" work or answers, copying another student's work, and plagiarism. Anyone who is academically dishonest will receive a grade of ZERO for that homework, quiz, test, or project, including the person who "shares" his or her work with another person. In addition, incidents of academic dishonesty will be referred to the administration.

Learning through abstract reasoning is an important aspect of this course.
Math 285 - Final Exam Information (last updated May 5) Concepts and Theory You should be familiar with the following theoretical results: interpretation of a 1st order equation as a formula for the slope of solutions definition of exactness of M + Ny' = 0, test for exactness statement of the main existence and uniqueness theorem for higher order linear differential equations and its significance for problems we solve (i.e. how many initial conditions should we expect to impose, what intervals I in the indep variable x ensure existence and uniqueness, etc.) definition of linear independence and relationship with genuine constants statement of Theorem III on the Wronskian test for linear independence know the formulas for the coefficients in sine series, cosine series, and full Fourier series understand the convergence theorem for Fourier series (i.e.can you draw a graph of the function your series really represents?) know the relationship between even and odd functions and sine and cosine series, as well as even and odd extensions of functions know what is meant by an eigenvalue problem for a differential equation and what you are trying to find when you solve such a problem Techniques You should be proficient with calculations dealing with: identifying and solving 1st order separable equations (and solve for y if you can!)
"[N]ot your normal finance book....it actually is a mathematical tool chest illustrated with a boatload of finance examples....[P]rovides not only a review of the quantitative methods but a review, in a very applied way, of a great variety of financial topics as well....[F]inance professionals should be able to take the information in the book and apply it to their day to day lives."–Derivatives Strategist About the Author JOHN L. TEALL is Associate Professor of Finance at Pace University and has served on the faculties of New York University, Fordham University, Dublin City University and others. heart, April 9, 2006 | 09/04/2006 Very productive approach in learning finance bottom:0.5em;"> This excellent and practical book on quantitative finance has brought a new perspective in learning the subject by heart. It is pretty much differently productive way in capturing the subject by categorizing the lessons in term of relevant mathematical tools, instead of conventionally by particular financial topics. It just prepares the reader sufficiently to meet the mathematical understanding of each particular financial materials by incorporating the related examples, very practical though, that utilizes each quantitative tool for that associated chapter. One caveat to keep is that, the content is very concise, to the point and sufficient still, and leaves no room for overly explaination, if you need one. It will be, as the author regularly suggests, a very excellent supplement reading with your main finance text, whatever subject it is you are learning. It could also be conveniently kept as the handbook or quick refresher for practitioners, who needs to brighten up the basic concept in finance. One last thing to add, the book is quite basic and should be fully benefited and most valuable to the learner who only requires the material of early stage in learning finance seriously or want to study it in more quantitatively oriented fashion. It would be deemed suitable, or at the equivalent level to, for the person attending college with major in business or finance up to and including MBA (Finance / Economics), especially the one who plans to go beyond the master level. JAMES PURNELL | 01/11/1999 It actually is a mathematical tool chest illustrated with numerous finance examples. As such it provides a finance professional with a quick review of elementary probability and statistics, linear algebra, calculus (stochastic and normal) and numerical methods. Teall's method is to explain the basic mathematical concepts and then to illustrate those concepts with a variety of financial examples. For an applied finance professional, the book offers a solid review of various numerical methods and shows you how to apply them in a variety of settings. Incredibly, this is all done in under 250 pages. Between the explanations of the theory and the examples of the applications, finance professionals should be able to take the information in the book and apply it to their day to day lives. The book's brevity and focus on applied work are likely to make it more useful than longer more theoretical tomes.

Good differential equations text for undergraduates who want to become pure mathematicians Alright, so I have been taking a while to soak in as much advanced mathematics as an undergraduate as possible, taking courses in algebra, topology, complex analysis (a less rigorous undergraduate version of the usual graduate course at my university), analysis, model theory, and number theory. That is, I have taken enough 'abstract' (proof-based) mathematics courses to fall in love with the subject and decide to pursue it as a career. However, I have been putting off taking a required ordinary differential equations course (colloquially referred to as 'calc 4', though this seems inappropriate) which will likely be very computational and designed to cater to the overpopulation of engineering students at my university. So my question is, for someone who might have to actually concern themselves with the theory behind the 'rules' and theorems which will likely go unproven in this low-level course (likely of questionable mathematical content), what might be a decent supplementary text in ODE? That is, something substantive to counter-balance the 'ODE for students of science and engineering'-type text I will have to wade through. I want to study algebraic geometry further (I have gone through Karen Smith's text and the first part of Hartshorne), so something which goes from basic material through differential forms and related material would be nice. Thanks! (and yes, it's embarrassing that I still haven't taken the 200-level ODE course, but I have been putting it off in favor of more interesting/rigorous courses... but now there's that whole graduation requirements issue). --Lambdafunctor

For example, if you miss a particular grade on an exam by a certain number of points, it is still possible to make up those points (and get into that grade bracket) in other parts of the course, perhaps on the next exam. On the other hand, just because you got a good grade on one test, you should realize that you can lose enough points to get into a lower grade bracket by doing poorly in another area of the course. Once again: it is points that count. Homework questions 100 pts. (Full credit is given for each completed assignment) Homework will be due one class week after it has been assigned. Any questions regarding how to do particular homework problems will be welcomed in the intervening class meetings or in my office but not in class on the day that the homework is due. Late homework will be penalized by a deduction of 20% of the assigned grade for each schoolday -- including schooldays on which class does not meet – that the work is late, so that, if the work is one week late, it will not receive any points. You may, however, still hand the work in so that you can benefit from corrections and be certain you know how to do a question that could well appear on an exam Practice Exams 100 pts There will be four group practice exams worth 25 pts apiece before each in class midterm and before the final exam Examinations 300 pts There will be three in class exams worth 100 pts apiece, and lasting 50 minutes each. Participation 50 pts Participation points are easy to acquire and you probably already know how to get them; don't chat to your neighbors when I'm lecturing (asking a neighbor to help if you didn't understand what I said is, however, always acceptable). General politeness counts. Cheerfulness, engagement, willingness to push buttons on your calculator, asking me to clarify if you are stuck, taking advantage of my office hours, these are all, to quote the Sound of Music, a few of my favorite things. Cumulative Final Examination 200 pts Total 750 pts Attendance Policy: You can afford to miss no more than the equivalent of one week of class. Any more absences are a dangerous loss of classtime percentage. Once you have had 3 unexcused absences, every unexcused absence from that point onward will incur a penalty of 10 pts from your participation and attendance score. Make up exams situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but invariably they require as much forewarning as possible -- and documentation. You know when the exams are; please do not book flights home, or your wedding, etc, etc on those dates. If your, or your best friend's, or your uncle's hairdresser's poodle's (if you're from the Coast) wedding is already booked for any of those dates, please let me know ASAP. I will not give make up tests without good reason, and if you should miss a test that is not made up, your score for that test will be zero. The sad fact is that it is a rare semester when some student doesn't have to rush home to tend a family crisis, or bury a loved one. Often this interferes with exams. Should such sadness happen to you, I will need to ask you for some sort of verification (obituary, hospital record, etc) and then we will try to get your semester moving again. Homework: Let me urge you to make it a regular part of your day to try working the homework problems. There will never be enough time for us to go through every listed problem in class, and it is probably unrealistic to think that you will be able to find the time to work through every listed problem, but you should at least spend some time thinking about virtually every problem, and working the more interesting or challenging to completion. The daily homeworkYou should view homework assignments as a test to see how well you understand the material and you should bring to the next class any questions you might have. However, from time to time, certain homework problems will be assigned and collected as mentioned above. I will award semester points for homework by calculating the percentage you got on all assigned homework and awarding this as a score out of 100pts Americans with Disability Act

Newman's mathematics department seeks to guide the student's transition from elementary and middle school mathematics to the more demanding college level math. The traditional courses of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus are offered as a means to this end. Year after year, the student will continue to gain the mathematical abilities necessary to excel in our increasingly technological society. While general fluency in calculation is one of these abilities, mathematics also fosters a creative and logical mentality that will benefit the student in all aspects of life. This is perhaps most noticeable in geometry, where the concept of proof occupies a central role. Upon successful completion of this program, the Newman graduate will be well equipped for college. IB Math Studies SL This course covers a wide variety of topics and is designed for students who have already taken algebra and geometry. Students who have a serious interest in mathematics or who plan to major in a scientific field should take either the SL or HLcourse. Topics include an introduction to naïve set theory, logic, functions including topics such as domain, range, one to one, inverse functions, graphing and shifting graphs, the algebra of functions, quadratic equations, full coverage of trigonometry including the law of sines and law of cosines from first principles, probability and statistics, basic coverage of differential calculus, and more. IB Math HL This is the most challenging math course offered and should only be taken by someone with a significant interest in math who will likely go on to study mathematics, engineering, physics, and so on. Students are expected to be fully comfortable with Algebra and Geometry before entering. Topics include a rigorous coverage of functions, including concepts such as domain, range, one to one, onto, inverse functions, and the algebra of functions, a detailed study of complex numbers,two and three dimensional vectors, lines and planes in space, matrices and linear algebra, determinants, full coverage of trigonometry including the law of sines and law of cosines from first principles, coverage of calculus comparable to an AP course, counting techniques, and probability and statistics. IB Math SL This course is an extension of Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry with the inclusion of a unique set of definitions. This course deals with domain, range, inversefunctions, sequence, Binomial expansion, Matrices, Vectors in 2 and 3 dimensions,Integration and Application of integration ,probability and statistics, basic coverage of differential calculus and more. Class time will be used to review homework questions, introduce "new" concepts, discuss the significance of the concepts, and apply the concepts to solve problems. In addition to learning concepts and solving problems, the students will learn to become comfortable with presenting their problems solving in a methodical manner.

It marks the sums automically and can print a detailed report after each session.
If you have high school students, High School Success 2005 is a great product that will expand your student's horizons. This computer program includes 27 different high school subjects on 15 CD-ROMs and 1 DVD disc. It covers everything from how to compose a letter and the works of Emily Dickinson, to algebra, geometry and trigonometry, basic vocabulary and structure in eight foreign languages, biology, chemistry, physics, ancient history and computer skills, just to name a few. There are also two bonus CD-ROMs: College Profiles and Kaplan Essential Review of Writing and Vocabulary. Each of the subjects has self-paced tutorials with text, history of the topic, animated activities, practice exercises, help functions and quizzes to test your understanding. The programs are easy to navigate and engaging, with lots of pictures, videos, animations, etc. Many concepts, especially in science, can be made clearer with the use of animations, and this program uses them very effectively. The text is interesting and easy to understand, building from the basics to much more advanced topics. The quizzes allow the student to see what was missed and offers explanations about why the correct answer is correct. While I don't think this program would be nearly sufficient for a complete high school education, it would be an excellent supplement, especially for history, language arts, math courses such as algebra, geometry and trigonometry, and science classes such as biology, chemistry and physics. For example, I think most students would find the math sections very comprehensive and understandable, but would probably need more practice exercises to really master the topics. The same is true for the science classes, which would also likely need a lab component to adequately cover the topics and allow further exploration. I was very impressed with the depth and breadth of materials, the high quality of the computer animations and programs, and the overall value for the price!
The Mathematics Department in the College of Natural Sciences offers two different calculus sequences, each of which covers the same material, but at a different pace. All courses consist of 3 hours of lecture/week and 2 hours of discussion. Students are expected to attend all 5 hours. The first semesters of these sequences have different ALEKS assessment requirements. Please read on to see which might fit your circumstances as you begin your study of the calculus at UT. M408C is the first semester in the accelerated two-semester sequence (M408C/D). This course moves approximately three times as fast as a high school calculus course. In order to be successful in this intense class, you will need to be outstanding in your mathematical skill, and should have already taken calculus in high school. Examples of such students include those who did well on their AP exams, but in order to solidify their understanding did not claim the calculus credit they earned, and students who have always excelled in and enjoy the challenges of mathematics. Students have to be willing to put in the extra effort required to move at such a rapid pace through difficult material. You must earn an 80% or better on ALEKS to take this course. M408N/ M408K is the first semester in the standard three-semester sequence (M408N/S/M for CNS students, M408K/L/M for non-CNS students). This course moves approximately twice as fast as a high school calculus course. In order to be successful in this class, you need to be confident of your algebra and trigonometry skills and your functions and logarithm skills. As the semester progresses, you need to independently strengthen any areas in which you find you are weak. While we teach the course assuming you have not had calculus before, data indicates that those with previous calculus coursework are more often successful. Examples of such students might include those who took calculus in high school, but scored low on the AP exam or did not take the exam; and students who have always enjoyed mathematics, and made excellent grades in all math classes, including an A in precalculus, but who did not take calculus. You must earn a 70% or better on ALEKS to take this course. No matter which calculus sequence you choose, you will find university-level calculus unlike your high school calculus courses in several ways. Material is covered more rapidly, and you must spend 8-10 hours outside the classroom in order to learn the material. It is expected that you precisely articulate the mathematics you are using. It is expected that you understand the concepts as well as work problems. Further, grades are determined almost entirely by 3-4 exams, and you must be capable of recognizing your own weaknesses and asking for assistance. Perhaps most importantly, it is essential that you are self-motivated – you will not have anyone looking over your shoulders to ensure you are doing enough work to gain the skills and understanding required to do well in the course.
Introduction to Mathematical Thought: From the Discrete to the Continuous MATH 111 SP In this course we seek to illustrate for the students several major themes. One of the most important is the fact that mathematics is a living, coherent discipline, a creation of the human mind, with a beauty and integrity of its own that transcends, but, of course, includes, the applications to which it is put. We will try to provide a somewhat seamless fusion of the discrete and the continuous through the investigation of various natural questions as the course develops. We try to break down the basically artificial distinctions between such things as algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus, etc. The topics will be elementary, particularly as they are taken up, but will be developed to the point of some sophistication. One challenge to the students will be to assimilate their previous experience in mathematics into this context. In this way we hope and expect that some of the beauty will show through. MAJOR READINGS Notes will be provided. There may be additional readings as well. EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS The focus of the course will be on weekly homework and in-class discussions. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS This course is a First-year initiative course, open only to first-year students. Sophomores may be allowed to add the course if it is not full. Since the flow of ideas in the course is one of its fundamental features, class attendance is required. The course carries an NSM designation.

May 6, 2009 Today some homeschoolers had their weekly algebra class. They are coming along well, and getting a good grasp of the subject. After class and after I got home, I sent them their assignments for the week. In today's email, however, I decided to add some detail as to what we covered in class — sometimes I'll write up a summary like this, sometimes I won't. So sometimes parents get a good, detailed, written report of what a class or a student in private tutoring covered. But this email sketches out what typically happens in my classes and private tutoring sessions, so I decided to post it. (But in this post I added a few things to the email to illustrate more of what we had actually done in class, instead of reporting only some of the highlights.) Students: Today we started class by looking at one reason why we need to learn to graph linear inequalities (which topic we covered last week): so we can graph, evaluate, and criticize the graphs we use and find in statistics. Graphs of inequalities play an important role in statistics. Then we worked an inequality together: p. 434 #22. Then instead of doing more inequalities, we started working on graphing linear systems, to make sure we'd have time to cover that topic first. We started out with some motivation: knowing how to find points of intersection is a critical part of understanding how some people navigate, or locate a position on the earth's surface, using LORAN. LORAN works by finding the intersection of two hyperbolas, as we saw in class. We are not yet ready for working with hyperbolas or systems of hyperbolas, of course; we need to work with lines first. We will build up to hyperbolas one step at a time. (In looking at the LORAN example, we were able to introduce some classic properties of hyperbolas, ellipses, and circles, so we had an idea how a hyperbola was generated and how it was different from other conic sections. And we were able to see how LORAN depends on the basic idea D = RT.) In some back-and-forth correspondence, a parent of a student I tutor and I segued from paleo nutrition and exercise to independence and to tutoring; we ended up coming up with a (hypothetical, in fun) new business name, and the parent came up with a good explanation of the name and a good slogan to go with it, too! The parent said: I kind of like that….Lone Wolf Tutoring – Setting the Gold Standard in Education … Meant in an entirely positive, Paleo way. Strong in mind and body, individual, not following the pack, wise, self-sufficient, hunter…… you get the idea. Quite fitting for you, I think. I like it. There's a Lone Wolf Productions film company…so why not Lone Wolf Tutoring? Update (5-7-09, 2:10 PM): I am only being rhetorical. I like the name when looked at as above, when looked at as a dignified appelation, but I don't think the name would go over and be practical in today's context, where "lone wolf" is a pejorative.

Analytical solutions of several problems of solid mechanics with the theory of isotropic linear elasticity. Use the theory of strength of materials to solve statically determinate or indeterminate beam problems. Main themes The objective of this course is to show how the theory of isotropic linear elasticity enables to solve a large class of problems stemming from the design of structures and equipments. Although the majority of industrial problems are solved nowadays with numerical software, it is essential that the student first learns how to solve analytically a number of simple problems and understands their physics. This is why the course will develop solutions related to bending, torsion, thermal stresses, buckling, etc. The theory of beams, commonly known as strength of materials, is a simplified theory which represents a very important particular case. Some methods for computing statically determinate or indeterminate beam structures are presented and several examples are studied.

Responsible and effective participation by citizens is stressed. Understanding the nature of citizenship, politics, and government will encourage understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the ability to explain how those rights and responsibilities as citizens are part of local, state, and national government in the United States today. The course focuses on examining how the United States Constitution protects individual rights and provides the structures and functions for the various levels of government. Furthermore, the course will then use that basis to analyze how the United States government interacts with other nations and evaluate the United States' role in world affairs. Study about American government uses primary and secondary sources. Text used: U.S. Government: Democracy in Action by Richard Remy Ph.D ECONOMICS Economics examines the allocation of resources and their alternative uses for satisfying human wants. This course analyzes the economic reasoning used as consumers, producers, savers, investors, workers, voters, and government agencies make decisions. Key elements of the course include a study of scarcity and economic reasoning, supply and demand, market structures, the role of government, national income determination, money and the role of financial institutions, economic stabilization, and trade. The course will explain that because resources are limited, people must make choices in all aspects of daily life and demonstrate the role that supply, demand, prices, and profits play in a market economy. It will also examine the functions of government in a market economy and study market structures, including the organization and role of businesses. The course then focuses on the role of economic performance, money, stabilization policies, and trade in the United States.

Mathematica®: A Problem-Centered Approach An introduction to the vast array of features and powerful mathematical functions of Mathematica that uses a multitude of clearly presented examples and worked-out problems that enable the reader to learn from the codes and avoids lengthy explanations. Mathematica®: A Problem-Centered Approach introduces the vast array of features and powerful mathematical functions of Mathematica using a multitude of clearly presented examples and worked- out problems. Each section starts with a description of a new topic and some basic examples. The author then demonstrates the use of new commands through three categories of problems - the first category highlights those essential parts of the text that demonstrate the use of new commands in Mathematica whilst solving each problem presented; - the second comprises problems that further demonstrate the use of commands previously introduced to tackle different situations; and - the third presents more challenging problems for further study. The intention is to enable the reader to learn from the codes, thus avoiding long and exhausting explanations. While based on a computer algebra course taught to undergraduate students of mathematics, science, engineering and finance, the book also includes chapters on calculus and solving equations, and graphics, thus covering all the basic topics in Mathematica. With its strong focus upon programming and problem solving, and an emphasis on using numerical problems that do not need any particular background in mathematics, this book is also ideal for self-study and as an introduction to researchers who wish to use Mathematica as a computational tool.

Synopsis It is now possible to enter a chemistry degree course at many UK universities without any formal maths training beyond age 16. Addressing this deficiency requires students to take additional mathematics training when entering university, yet the relevance of maths to chemistry is often poorly appreciated by chemistry students. In addition, many service courses are either too abstract, or aimed at physicists and engineers, for students of chemistry, who are not inclined to study mathematical techniques per se and do not make the connection between the maths they are taught and the chemistry they want to study. Based on the successful at a Glance approach, with integrated double page presentations explaining the mathematics required by undergraduate students of chemistry, set in context by detailed chemical examples, this book will be indispensable to all students of chemistry. By bringing the material together in this way the student is shown how to apply the maths and how it relates to familiar concepts in chemistry. By including problems (with answers) on each presentation, the student is encouraged to practice both the mathematical manipulations and the application to problems in chemistry. More detailed chemical problems at the end of each topic illustrate the range of chemistry to which the maths is relevant and help the student acquire sufficient confidence to apply it when necessary.

Honors Geometry Course Syllabus 2005-2006 Fr. Chris Thiel, OFMCap Homework You will not pass without turning in your homework. Homework is usually assigned from the textbook, though it may be a worksheet or a test "re-do." The name "homework" may be misleading, since we will often do certain assignments in class. Homework is due each week, at the beginning of the first class after the weekend. Grading of homework is based on the following: Each sheet must have: the student's name class period & date the assignment's page number, each question & diagram an honest attempt at an answer, showing appropriate work a legible appearance No credit given for pages without your name. Homework is graded based on neatness, completeness, correctness and timeliness. Neatness means legible handwriting or printing and carefully drawn figures. Completeness means all assigned exercises have the question and relevant diagrams written out, showing all reasonable steps needed to justify the answer. Correctness means that revisions to incorrectly worked problems are shown, preferably in another color. Timeliness means you keep up to date each week. Weekly Quizzes Quizzes are administered every week that does not have a chapter test. In general, quizzes are based directly on homework assignments and examples done in class. Most on the time, notes and homework may be used while taking a quiz , but not your textbook. This is to encourage you to take careful, clear and complete notes in class. Chapter Tests Chapter tests are administered after covering a significant body of work, usually after each chapter of the text. Sometimes however, a large chapter is divided into two parts, with a Chapter Test after each. In general, a chapter test is scheduled every other week. Since everyone can have a "bad day" for whatever reason (stress, illness, difficulty with a particular topic, etc.), the lowest test of the quarter does not count. Chapter Tests are 20 points. Projects Projects are assigned to encourage the communication of geometric insights and to help deepen your understanding of a particular topic. Projects take on a variety of forms including making web pages, videos, posters and presentations. Projects are either 10 or 20 point assignments. Final Exam There is a special schedule during "Finals Week" to allow for a long, in depth examination of what you learned each quarter. The final exam counts as two chapter tests. To help your test taking skills, the test is conducted in the "SAT" style. There are only thought provoking questions, and an average student only answers half of them correctly. These exams are therefore graded on a curve, based on the average and standard deviation of those taking the exam this year. The top student will score all 40 points. Classroom Discipline DO NOT DISRUPT CLASS For the sake of the majority of the class, those who disrupt a class lesson by talking, disturbing someone, or throwing any object will not be tolerated. Disciplinary measures may include written assignments or cleaning of the classroom. Chronic disruptions warrant a phone call home and/or a "Saturday". DO NOT ABUSE SCHOOL PROPERTY You are responsible for your work place and will be held accountable to keep your desk and its environs clean. Feet should remain on the floor, never on the desk. All four feet of the desk must also remain on the floor. Be gentle when using a school computer. If you are banned from the use of the computer, all computer based assignments are replaced with extensive written assignments. DO NOT ABUSE YOUR TIME Take advantage of the group work sessions. This is the time to do your talking---so long as you get the work done. Abuse of this privilege will result in individual loss of the privilege as well as the disciplinary measured mentioned above. Talking without permission during quizzes or tests can and will be interpreted as cheating. Consult the student handbook for the consequences of cheating. As per the student handbook, students are responsible for work missed due to absence the day they return. If you are present and a quiz or test is scheduled, you must take it. It is a good idea to have the phone number of several classmates to see what material and assignments were covered during your absence. If you miss a quiz you cannot gain any points for it. Usually one test score and one quiz score will be dropped each quarter. If you know you will be absent for a test, you may schedule to take it before the actual test date if prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. In the case of an extended illness special arrangements should be made with the Academic Vice Principal, Mr. Trujillo. LIVE UP TO YOUR GOOD NAME You are expected to exhibit the attributes of a St. Francis Golden Knight: courteous attention, gracious cooperation, and dedicated study. Each can readily be seen in the thoroughness and orderliness of your work. Grading Homework=5 points (max.) each week, (roughly 25% of your grade) Quizzes=10 points (max.) each, (lowest quiz is not counted against you--about 20% of your total grade) Chapter Tests=20 points each (lowest test is not counted against you--about 20%) Math projects=10 or 20 points each (about 15%) Quarter Exams=40 points each. (about 20%) Since the number of tests and quizzes and the number of weeks of homework vary from quarter to quarter, the percentages are approximate. The overall letter grades are computed by using the standard percentage ratio: . Since the lowest Chapter Test each quarter is usually not counted, against the overall score, the percentages are NEVER rounded up. That is, they are converted to letter grades strictly as follows: 90% to 100% A 80% to 89.9999% B 70% to 79.9999% C 60% to 69.9999% D 0% to 59.9999% not a D Keep Track of your Grade Here is an example: Item Date Assignment Points Earned Points Possible Total Points Earned Total Points Possible % (Divide the last 2 columns) 1 9/4 Homework 1 9 10 9 10 .90 2 9/4 Quiz 1.1 8 10 17 20 .85 3 9/11 Homework 2 9 10 26 30 .867 4 9/10 Test Ch. 1 17 20 43 50 .86 5 9/13 Computer Project 20 20 63 70 .90 6 9/18 Homework 3 10 10 73 80 .9125 7 9/18 Quiz 2.1 6 10 79 90 .87 8 9/24 Test Ch 2 16 20 95 110 .8636 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Without dropping the low quiz and the low test scores, the average is 86.36%. To drop the low quiz score (Quiz 2.1 was the lowest--6 points) and the low test score (In this case Chapter 2 Test was 16 points) we subtract the low scores from the total earned (95-6-16=73), and 30 points from the total points possible (110-30=80) Now we divide 73/80 to get an average of .9125 (an A-). In reality, the low scores change throughout the quarter, so it is best to keep track of your grade without dropping any score, knowing that the average will be better when it comes time for the report card grade. Here is a blank table:

The third edition of this ground-breaking text continues the authors' goal - a targeted introduction to precalculus that carefully balances concepts with procedures. Overall, this text is designed to provide a solid foundation to precalculus that focuses on a small number of key topics thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breadth of coverage. Algebra is fundamental to the working of modern society, yet its origins are as old as the beginnings of civilization. Algebraic equations describe the laws of science, the principles of engineering, and the rules of business.

Little Mathematics Library series Inequalities by P. P. Korovkin In this booklet the author did not pursue the aim of presenting the basic properties of inequalities and made an attempt only to familiarize students of senior classes with some particularly remarkable inequalities playing an important role in various sections of higher mathematics and with their use for finding the greatest and the least values of quantities and for calculating some limits. The book contains 63 problems, 35 of which are provided with detailed solutions, composing thus its main subject, and 28 others are given in Sections 1.1 and 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 as exercises for individual training. At the end of the book the reader will find the solutions to the given exercises. The book was translated the Russian by Sergei Vrubel and was first published by Mir in 1975.
