And then there was one...

You folks better be studying...after marking some pathetic exams this weekend I need a fuzzy warm feeling while marking yours!

I figure I will be on-line periodically over the next few hours (say until midnight) to answer any last minute questions you may have.

Get a good night's sleep and make sure you have a breakfast in the morning.  I should be there early in case anyone wants to start before 9 AM.

2 to go...

Just creating a clean spot in case there is anyone out there who needs to have questions answered over the weekend.

I will check at some point Saturday afternoon and again later in the evening.  I will also check at some point on Sunday and figure I will be on-line a fair amount on Sunday evening as I have to start my report card comments for my other classes anyway.

Stopped Short

I was voted out...it was decided that stopping at 9.2 was in the best interest of the students.  Below you will find the suggested review questions from the Cumulative Review Sections of your textbook.

For the Calculus portion of the course.  Page 267 - 270.  All questions numbers 1 through 32 are EXCELLENT review questions covering all of the concepts that were taught in the first part of the course.

For the Vectors material that we have been working on you should look at the following questions starting on page 557:  #'s 1, 3 through 12, 16a, 17, 18, 19a, 21, 22, 26, 28, 31, 33 and 34

I don't expect you to finish these all this weekend.  These are the problems that you can be working on leading up to the exam.

I will check the blog occassionaly this weekend.  We can also discuss any of the above questions or others you may have during class over the next three days.

Now start STUDYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Section 9.2

We took the entire period to look at the one example below.  The whole problem revolves around understanding basic row operations and the idea of elimination (from back in grade 10) to produce zero's in the bottom triangle of the system (see diagram in notes below or read in your student text).
I strongly urge you to read pages 499 through 507 of your text for a deeper understanding of this concept.

NOTE I:  Tomorrow will be a "work" period with problems assigned from section 9.1 and 9.2. 

NOTE II:  In class on Friday we will touch on some of the concepts from section 9.3 and 9.4 and that will conclude the material that will be covered on the exam.
