Mr. McClendon’s Math Emporium

Test on Wednesday 9-17-08.  Here is a focused test review.  If you can do these problems you can do the test.  Don’t freak out, relax, study the review and problems like them in the text and in your notes.  Use the resource cd from your text to find similar questions.  If you need help you can email, call or comment on this post.  Remember there is a math tutor on campus now on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 4:30.  I will be at class early if you need some help as well.

It took me longer than expected to post the videos of working out the open response question but I got them done none the less. I will post the answer key to the Multiple choice part of the final review tomorrow(I forgot to bring it home with me yesterday,D’oh!) Anyways come to class with questions or post a question here. Thanks!

Hey Geometry Crew!

I have decided to just post the answers/explanations to our homework.  I hope it is helpful and that you are keeping up in your studies.  If you have any questions email or post a question.  I will try to keep an eye open for them .

I don’t know if any of my MT150 students are still watching but I have posted final grades.

I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed class this semester and I hope you did as well.  I also hope that you were able to take away at least one thing that you can apply to your life.  It doesn’t have to be math related or school related I just hope you came away from our time together and say to yourself, “Self, that McClendon guy wasn’t that bad, I actually learned a thing or two!”

With that being said I wish all of the students from MT150 a safe and happy summer and the best of luck in all that you do.

Just a quick update on the final grades in MT150.  I have yet to receive the grades back for the final so the suspense must go on!

Test 4 is upon us and shortly there after is the final, which is Monday May 5th.  Below is last years test 4 and it will be somewhat similar to this years test 4.

Also for your enjoyment you can take a look at this 150mt-fall-07-final-review.doc .  13 pages of juicy final exam review.  Note that this is from last semester and not this semester.  

Just as a quick reminder, we will be using our calculators heavily on Monday so be sure to bring it with you!  We are going to be talking about matrices and how to use them in solving systems of linear equations.  You will get to know how to input matrices into your calculator and use the row reduced echelon form function, rref(, of the calculator.  Search Google for the above topics or read the next sections in the book to get ahead of the curve!
