Hi Everyone! Welcome to Spring 2011 Math 95. It'll be a wild ride!

The post previous to this one is the syllabus, slightly different from what I handed out in class today (Please note the typo in the syllabus leaving chapter 7 out of coverage - we WILL cover this material this term. My apologies for that. We will cover chapter 7 this term - it's on fractions!). Before that are the posts I made for Math 90 last term, and math 30 the term before, if you want to see what we did on Saturdays previously.

The next posts will include a guide to the written project work, and then the first project.

Today we talked about the syllabus and the mechanics of the class, and then took an incept quiz based on questions from my Math30 and Math90 finals. Then we raced through chapter 5 - and that was our morning. In the afternoon we covered sections 6.1 and 6.2.

Next week I'll have hard copies of the first project to hand out in class - it's due in two weeks. We'll cover the rest of chapter 6, and get started on chapter 7.

Homework for next week:

Chapter 5 test (pages 464-465): 1 - 42 all

Section 6.1 (pages 478-480): 13 - 123 all that end in 3 (13, 23, 33, ... 113, 123)

Section 6.2 (pages 491-493): 1 - 13 odd, and 15 - 99 EOO (Every Other Odd, or 15, 19, 23, ..., 95, 99)

I'm excited about this term!

-Dave
