Numerical Methods on Monday & Tuesday - we need to try and get netbooks for this so we can use Excel or Google Apps - can you try and bring a netbook to each of the lessons? If necessary, we'll use the maths ones rather than the sixth form ones...
Thursday - FP1 - either we'll start the Proof by Induction or we'll carry on with Roots of Polynomials - hopefully we're all happy with the quadratic sum & product of roots - we now need to extend this to cubics, quartics (but not quintics!)
Friday - Numerical Methods again ... I'm hoping to get on with this quickly so we can start the coursework sooner rather than later.
Any questions about the assignments - let me know,
The plan was to use google apps spreadsheet but... I asked it to calculate going up in 0.1s from -2 and by the time it got to -0.4 it said -0.40000004, which obviously might start affecting the later calculations!
ReplyDeleteWe might use excel instead, I'll see if I can figure it out...
