A note to my September calculus students

jd2718 — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:59:22 +0000

Please e-mail me a note. (check the end of year handout or a precalc calendar for my e-mail address). I don’t know if we will use e-mail or on-line resources during the school year, but I would like to collect your addresses, in case.

Sorry for not having considered this earlier. But for those of you who don’t see this, or see it late, no harm done; we won’t be doing anything with them before school is back in session.

SAT Math Level 2 Prep

The College Board’s book is cheap ($10 at Amazon, you’ll probably find it in a bookstore).It is thin (just two practice tests), but that’s ok

If you want more problems, you can try Barron’s. (also cheap, $8 at Amazon). Might not be a bad idea if you are actually going to sit for the exam, but it is more than I require.

Also, this is the main link to the Gross videos. You’ll have to navigate to the Course Introducton, and then to Part 1, lectures 1, 2, and 3 (Analytic Geometry, Functions, Inverse Functions)

Last Logic Calendars 12 – 16

jd2718 — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 17:46:59 +0000

L11 Cal 12 – L11 Cal 13 – L11 Cal 14 – L11 Cal 15 – L11 Cal 16

One day, perhaps, we will teach logic again. But as of today, these five calendars, the fifth test, and the final exam are the last artifacts of the course’s six year run.
