Fall 2022 MAT225 Lecture 101

 

(My AP Classroom from 1988-2019)
(Running Linux from 1994-2018)

Fall 2022 MAT225 Lecture 101:

OK, this week was a bit short due to Labor Day on Monday so we only got to meet on Wednesday 9/7/2022. However, I think we got off on the right foot!

First things first, we went over some important points in the syllabus as outlined in my last blog post and how to navigate our Blackboard site.

Next, we had a brief Elementary Calculus Review on Limits at a Point and Limits at Infinity involving Rational Functions and L'Hopital's Rule. We even introduced Jupyter Notebooks doing algebra and graphing with sympy! Sympy will be our CAS (Computer Algebra System) this semester. We will also be using Colab this semester emulating Jupyter in the cloud: GCP (Google Compute Platform).

Elementary Calculus FILK:

 

Last, but not least, we started going over Chapter 13 topics related to 2D and 3D Vectors: Summation, Difference, Scalar Multiplication, Dot Products and Cross Products.

Next week we will devote Monday 9/12/2022 and Wednesday 9/14/2022 to completing topics from Chapters 13 & 14 about Vectors, Matrices and 3D Graphs!

Last, but not least, remember this unit's mascot, Tux the Penguin of Linux fame, is here to cheer you on!

That's it for now. I hope you find this note is helpful and I hope that you will learn a lot this semester in my class!

 

Be well,

NOTE TO READER:

In recent years our independent study class has been about the care and feeding of Linux Clusters: How to Build A Cluster, How To Program A Cluster and What Can We Do With A Cluster? 

BTW, Shadowfax is the name of the cluster we build! FYI, we offer 4 computing courses: 

CSH: Computer Science Honors with an introduction to coding in Python using SAGE, IDLE, VIDLE and Trinket, 

CSA: AP Computer Science A using CS50, this IDE and this IDE and OpenProcessing, 

CSI: Computing Science Independent Study using OpenMPI and 

CSL: Computing Science Lab which is a co-requisite for Calculus students using Computer Algebra Systems such as SAGE.
