AP CompSci 2015-2016 November: Primitive Data Types!

AP CompSci 2015-2016 November

Primitive Data Types!
In CH4 we talked about when to use ints vs doubles. We introduced the Math class in particular and Static classes in general. We also talked about different types of input: args[], Scanner, JOptionPane. Last, but not least, we played with the Integer class a bit: parseInt(), MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE. Next week is the week before Thanksgiving and we should be done with Lab 4. We have Take Home FRQS on Tuesday and Game Day on Wednesday! BTW, before every Take Home Tuesday, we do 10 MCQs for practice on Socrative!
What we know so far (CH1-Ch4+BIN):
What's a Class?
What's an Object?
What's a Method?
How do we use args[] (commandline input)?
How do we use Scanner (terminal input)?
How do we use JOptionPane (GUI input)?
What's Encapsulation?
What's Abstraction?
How do we use the String (immutable) class?
How do we use the Math (static) class?
How do we use the Integer (container) class?
What's a private instance field?
What's a final?
What's a Constructor?
What's an Accessor?
What's a Mutator?
What's javac, java, javadoc, appletviewer?
What's jdk, jre?
What's BIN, OCT, DEC, HEX?
What's coming up next?
CH05: Conditional Statements
CH06: Iteration aka Loops
CH07: 2D and 3D Static Arrays and ArrayLists
CH10: Inheritance
CH11: Polymorphism
CH18: Recursion
CH19: Searching and Sorting Algorithms

preCalculus 2015-2016 November: Vectors!

preCalculus 2015-2016 November

Vectors!
OK, we went nuts these last few weeks! 903 was about Complex Numbers as Vectors on the Complex Plane. For some reason this made QUIZ9A and QUIZ9B really tough.... 904 was about 2D Vector Arithmetic and 905 was about 2D Scalar Dot Products. Then we did 906 3D Vector Arithmetic and 907 3D Vector Cross Products. We are reviewing now. Next week, before Thanksgiving, we'll have preTEST9A Review on Monday, TEST9B on Tuesday and BZFlag Game Day on Wednesday! The day before or next Holiday Break we go all over school singing preCalculus Carols!

Calculus BC 2015-2016 November: Applications of Integration!

Calculus BC 2015-2016 November

Applications of Integration!
UNIT06 is about Measurement Theory. In other words, we applied the concept of the Definite Integral to find Area, Volume, Arc Length and Surface Area! For Volumes Of Revolution, we worked extensively with Disk, Washer and Shell methods. We also talked about Volume with Known Cross-sections not necessarily circular as well as arc lengths of curves that were not necessarily circular!

 BTW, Quarter I ended last Friday, so we have some new students made FILKs for xtra credit! Also, see below for a the infamous Numa Numa Calculus FILK which is a great review of Antidrivatives! Last, but not least, we're done with Admiral Grace Murray Hopper and Tom Lehrer for Youtube Wednesday. We switched over to a NOVA about the Super Computer named Watson.

 We've gotten into the habit of starting each new unit with a Socrative Friday and ending each unit with a TakeHome Tuesday. We're about done with this unit, so I think we'll continue this practice. We probably do have to do some practice AP Exams in class. Maybe we'll bring back MCQ Mondays and FRQ Fridays once a month. 
Next week is the week before Thanksgiving. We'll review on Monday, have Take Home FRQS with a preTEST on Tuesday and Game Day on Wednesday! BTW, the day before or next Holiday Break we go all over school singing Calculus Carols!
