March 3, 2008

Hey there, so today we got our matrices test back. I guess as a whole our class did very badly, so we need to crack down and get on task. After we looked at the test we went over a homework questions from the weekend that some people didn't quite get.

Before looking at the actual question we went over a method on how to do vector problems.
One idea Mr. Max expressed was the difference between a "drawing" and a "sketch". A drawing is a perfect, to scale picture, while a sketch is pretty much a doodle. Keep that in mind when doing homework and eventually the test.

While going through this method Mr. Max showed us that no matter what way your vectors are put together, as long as they're together to begin with, they can be put together any other way and still work. This created the bear holding the newspaper picture that was not purposely created and we kind of laughed a bit.



With twenty minutes left in class Mr. Max decided that for homework we were supposed to do one the remaining questions from exercise 3. So, please do either question 4, 5, or 6 from exercise 3. Have a nice day!
