153 Day One

I was unprepared even for me as I remarked in the personal blog this morning. So I went entirely on the notes from last year in the text. In particular, I skipped Section 10.1 again. My comments on 10.2 from last year might also prove useful.

Since I’m using the two-pronged attack again, I also spoke about Section 9.1. In particular, I’m using the “angle bracket” notation for sequences again for sequences as opposed to the text’s “set braces”.

Here’s my “Jazz Math Ed” post from 2007.

Evidently it’s Ada Lovelace Day. Grace Murray Hopper comes to mind immediately. Here’s her wikipedia page. And here’s an old blog from my old blogroll. Maria Andersen’s Teaching College Math no longer has “technology” in its title… but she’s the first contemporary of ours I thought of so she gets the link.

This is now Community College Calculus: my blog for both calc classes this quarter. Plus random math links. I’m doing a 151 and a 153; no 103 this quarter.
