We have an Exam Revision Workshop scheduled on Thu. Oct. 26 for the second hour of the afternoon workshop (from 1 – 2pm), with regular physics workshop from noon – 1.

If you are interested in getting started/ahead on Exam Revisions, here is a blank version of the problem-solving questions from Math Exam 1.

Dear Students,

An unfortunate typo had a confusing start time for class on Tuesday October 24. Consistent with our regular schedule, class starts at 8am on Tuesday October 24. For this class, both morning labs will have the Chemistry Quiz from 8 – 8:30am.

My apologies for the confusion.

• Blank copy of Math Quiz #4
• Math Quiz #4 Revisions are due 9am Mon. Oct. 30
  

• Who should submit a Math Quiz Revision? All students are invited to submit a Math Quiz #4 Revision for as many problems as you choose to revise and resubmit.

• Math Quiz Revision Detailed Guidelines
  • You may utilize any resource available to you, but submitted work must reflect your own personal understanding of the material.
  • The care you take in presenting your work will be considered when evaluating it, so pay attention to organization, neatness, etc.
  • Revisions must be neat, complete, and presented in a logical, clear-to-understand fashion, on a new copy of the quiz.
  • Please do not re-submit original quiz – that is for you to keep.
  • Since these are revisions, a higher standard will be used to evaluate your responses. Essentially, your revised solutions should be of the highest quality you can produce.
  • You may revise any problems you choose, and must present a complete solution to any problem you choose to revise (not just a part of a problem).
  • For multiple choice/fill-in-the-blank type questions, your revised solution should completely and clearly explain your reasoning (even though no explanation was required on the original quiz).

In Week 6, we have a number of events connected to Academic Planning & Statement work. The event on Monday October 30 involves a schedule re-arrangement but not any more class time. The Friday events are optional as this is not a regular class meeting day for us, but they are highly recommended.

• Mon. Oct. 30, 12:15 – 1:15pm: REU Panel.
  • No Math Quiz that morning.
  • 9:00 – 10:00am Math Lecture
  • 10:15 – 11:15am Physics Lecture
  • 11:15am – 12:15pm Lunch Break
  • 12:15 – 1:15 REU Panel with students who did summer research at Cal State – Fresno (knot theory), Berkeley (plasma physics), WSU (atmospheric physics)
  • 1:30 – 3:00pm Chemistry Lecture
• Wed. Nov. 1, 11:30am – 1:00pm: Academic Planning & Statement Workshop I
  • Pre-Workshop Writing Assignment (stay tuned).
  • We’ll do this instead of Math Lab this week.
  • We’ll do this in conjunction with students from the upper division physical chemistry (and physics) program Atoms, Molecules, and Reactions (AMR).
• Fri. Nov. 3, 11:30am – 1:00pm in Lab I 054A: Potluck lunch with Evergreen Science Alumni Panel, hosted by AMR. Optional, but recommended.
• Fri. Nov. 3, 1:00 – 3:30pm in Purce Hall Lecture Hall 2: Evergreen Science Alumni Panel Presentations and Discussions. Optional, but recommended.

• Information about Math Exam #1

• Math Problem Set #4 Solutions
  • Compare these solutions to what is in your Math PSN.
  • Make notes, corrections, or complete problems using a different color ink directly in your PSN.
  • This (along with looking over lecture notes) will serve as excellent preparation for the Math Quiz.

• Reminder: Math Problem Set Notebook spot checks will occur week 5 Wed. Oct. 25 in class during the Math Midterm Exam – please bring your Math Problem Set Notebook with you to class on that day. Feedback will be given on evidence of:
  1. engagement;
  2. attempts to complete;
  3. using solutions to correct.

• For your convenience, here are all the Math Problem Set solutions to this point:
  1. Math Problem Set #1 Solutions
  2. Math Problem Set #2 Solutions
  3. Math Problem Set #3 Solutions
  4. Math Problem Set #4 Solutions
