• Blank copy of Math Quiz #3
• Math Quiz #3 Revisions are due 9am Mon. Oct. 23
  

• Who should submit a Math Quiz Revision? All students are invited to submit a Math Quiz #3 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).

From chemistry faculty member Dharshi Bopegedera (bopegedd@evergreen.edu):

“I am looking for a few student volunteers from M&M to do science with kids in the public library to celebrate National Chemistry Week.

• We are going to the Olympia Public Library on October 25^th. We will be there from 2:30-5:30. We can provide transportation to and from the college.
• I will provide simple, hands on, lab activities for our students to conduct with K-12 kids.
• We usually get about 45-60 kids in the library.

The theme this year is “chemistry rocks”. Your students would be just perfect (even if they know very little of chemistry or geology!). From past experiences, this has been a rich experience for our students regardless of their age, class standing, or knowledge of science.

I will appreciate it very much if you would please announce to your class and ask your students to send me an email if they are interested.”

Complete All Problems in your Math Problem Set Notebook. Bold underline problems also due via WebAssign by 6pm on Fri. Oct. 20.

• 2.7: 7, 13, 16, 39, 41, 42, 43, 48(a), 55.
• 2.8: 3, 7, 10, 12, 16, 27, 30, 32.
• 3.1: 15, 29, 31, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 54, 58, 63, 65.

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

• Math Problem Set #3 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.

• Chemistry: McMurray & Fay 4.1 – 4.8
• Math: Stewart 2.7, 2.8, 3.1
  • Math Reading Response due via WebAssign 6pm Sun. Oct. 15
• Physics: Wolfson 4.3-4.6
  • Physics Reading Response due via MasteringPhysics 8pm Sun. Oct. 15

• Monday October 15, noon – 1:30pm: Joint Program Mixer with students from the upper-level program Mathematical Systems. We’ll provide Costco pizza; bring your own drinks. Again our apologies to those who will have to provide their own lunch due to dietary and other restrictions.
• Tuesday October 16, 8 – 10am: Chemistry Lab for all students taking chemistry. Meet in Lab 2 1241 (the regular chemistry room) prepared to start chemistry lab. This changed schedule is in anticipation of our first program Field Trip (see below).
• Tuesday October 16, 10:30am – 5pm: Field Trip to Mossyrock Dam. The bus leaves from Parking Lot C (near the Sem 2 buildings) at 10:30am (don’t be late). We handed out liability waiver forms on Thursday (you can get one on Monday if you weren’t there) which must be completed prior to leaving campus for the field trip. Bring your lunch; we’ll have 30 minutes or so to eat when we arrive, or you can eat on the bus. Dress for the weather. We’ll make every effort to return to campus by 5pm. Tacoma Public Utilities’ information about their dams.

Evergreen’s TRiO Programs are federally funded grants designed to improve college access and graduation rates for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, specifically with low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities.

The current application window for TRiO closes on Fri. Oct. 13. You can read about Applying to Join TRiO Student Success or go straight to the Application.

TRiO can’t accommodate every qualified student. If you meet the criteria and don’t apply, you are guaranteed not to have a chance to be accepted.

• 2.4: 3, 9, 10, 19, 22, 26, 34, 36, 37, 55.
  • Notes: parts of 2.4.10 require some background knowledge you might not have – good for discussion with classmates; we will cover the physics in 2.4.34 in winter quarter; for 2.4.37(c), review Greatest Integer Function, p. 109. 
• 2.5: 3, 15, 23, 28, 35, 38, 39, 42, 55, 56.
  • Notes: 2.5.55 and 2.5.56 are interesting applications of limits involving infinity in the physical sciences.
• 2.6: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 47, 48.
  • Notes: 2.6.11, 2.6.12, 2.6.14, 2.6.15 are all directly connected to recent/current work in physics; 2.6.47 and 2.6.48 apply the idea of rate of change in economics and biology and are good for discussion with classmates since they ask about meaning/interpretation.

• **Read over all problems before Thursday Math/Physics Workshop. Complete as many as you can before Workshop.**
  • There is NO EXPECTATION that you can complete all these problems on your own before Workshop – that’s the point of collaborative learning in Workshop.
  • Some of the problems you will be able to complete on your own. Your time in Workshop (and study groups) will be most productive if you are able to identify the problems that are giving (or would give) you difficulty before Workshop.
• Include solutions to ALL PROBLEMS in your Math PSN. Begin each solution in your PSN with a statement of the problem.
• Submit bold underlined problems via WebAssign by 6pm Fri. Oct. 13.
• Solutions to all assigned problems will be posted after the on-line submission due date.
  • Compare the posted 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.
