Post for Saturday, May 14th

Hi everyone - sorry this is going up so late, and thank you to the two people who phoned me about this today! I THOUGHT I wrote and posted a log for the most recent class, but I don't see it up (or a saved draft).

So! In class we covered sections 9.3 and 9.4 on radical things (square and other roots), and then section 11.2 on inverse functions. In the afternoon we redid the first exam for partial credit - we'll get it back the next class (the 21st) with a score. The second project is also due this coming class period - have you started it?

Next week we'll cover the rest of chapter 9, some more sections of chapter 10, and sections 11.3 and 11.4 on exponential functions. Whatever we discuss will be the high-water mark for the exam in two weeks (May 28th); that afternoon we'll cover log functions. Log functions are Very Important and kinda tricky, so you really oughta plan for both the exam in the morning and the discussion in the afternoon.

The week after that (June 4th) we'll cover the rest of the material from chapters 10 and 11, and redo the exam. The week after THAT (June 11th) is our final - 9am, in our regular classroom. It's been quite a wild ride, yes?

Also on this next Saturday (the 21st) we'll do course evaluations - your chance to give me (and the textbook, and the course in general) a grade.

Homework for May 21st:

Finish project 2

Section 9.3: 13 - 113 EOO

Section 9.4: 11 - 51 EOO

Section 11.2: 15 - 33 odd; 35 - 67 EOO.

See you Saturday!
