• Please find problem set assignment at the Math page, also linked in the main navigation bar.
• Complete All Problems in your Math Problem Set Notebook. Bold underline problems also due via WebAssign by 9pm on Fri. Feb. 23, 2018.

• Math Problem Set #14 Solutions have been posted at the Math page.
• I’ve heard (directly and indirectly) from a number of students who found this week’s material particularly challenging. Please use the solutions to support you in understanding problems you found difficult, and make sure to reflect that work into your Math PSN using a different color ink.
  • One of your classmates requested Volume Drills for further practice. I’ve made a large set of problems from sections 6.2 and 6.3 available at WebAssign for drills practice.

• Chemistry: McMurray & Fay 11.4, 12.1-12.3
• Math: Stewart 6.4, 6.5
  • Math Reading Responses due via WebAssign 3pm Sun. Feb. 18 6pm Tue. Feb. 20 due to delay in posting
• Physics: Wolfson 19.1-19.4
  • Physics Reading Response due via MasteringPhysics 6pm Sun. Feb. 18

• Notes and Reminders:
  • No class meetings on Mon. Feb. 19 for President’s Day holiday
  • Energy Project Literature Review due 9am Tue. Feb. 20
  • Math Quiz at 1pm Tue. Feb. 20 (at beginning of Physics Lab)
  • No Physics Quiz this week

This week’s IDEAl problem is a version of the last Quiz 12 problem. (I’ve reduced the number of parts, though I think you’ll find that the parts I removed just become intermediate calculations.)

If you submit quiz revisions, please use the version of the quiz posted here rather than the original version. The first page asks the questions in a different way that’s more appropriate to a second attempt.

Both files are here and in the appropriate physics handout sections of the program fileshare.

All-Campus Mentoring Day is the afternoon of Wednesday February 21, 2018. There are many relevant sessions that will be of particular interest to you, with just a selected few listed below:

• Individual Academic Statement Support Session
• Alumni Panel – Winding Paths
• Career Pathways in Education
• Capstone Research: Final Projects, SURF Study, Capstone, Thesis & Internships
• Navigating the Sciences at Evergreen
• Career Pathways in Environmental Fields
• Finding Your Mentors
• Individual Studies: Contacts & Internships
• Integrating the Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences (ICMaPS!)

From the website http://www.evergreen.edu/surf/  “Evergreen’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships offer undergraduates the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors on research projects.”

Summer 2018 Proposed Projects are listed at the SURF website,where you can also find detailed descriptions and application requirements. At quick glance of the proposed projects, many would be of interest to students interested in the computational, mathematical, and physical sciences (CMaPS).

Applications are due Monday March 5 2018.

The Evergreen Library is trying out two science databases on a trial basis, and can be accessed from the ‘What’s New’ section of the Library webpage.

• SCOPUS is available from Feb. 14 to Mar. 15
• Web of Science will be available soon

Many of you are nearly completed with your Literature Review but you might still find these useful. The research librarians would find any feedback you have useful.

• Blank copy of Math Quiz #11 is available at the Math page.
• Math Quiz #11 Revisions & Reflection are due 1pm Tue. Feb. 20.

Here is a video on semiconductors devices and, in particular, the NPN transistor. In lab you will be building a version of the transistor switch (0:25-0:31 of the video).

I’d like you to watch through about 5:50 of the video (keep watching if you want a brief introduction to transistors used as amplifiers).
