Final Info

Remember, don't be tired, hungry or sluggish. Get a good night's sleep, eat breakfast and/or lunch and move around before the test. You will feel better and your brain will work better.

The exam is at 11am on Friday, June 17th. Don't get there at 11:05. It will add to your stress.

E-Block in room 710
G-Block in room 712

You may have a calculator and pencil/eraser but no notes. Please bring back your books (if you remember). Next year's BC Calculus students will need to get a book for the summer.

Conics, Sequences&Series, Review (the rest of the year)

We don't have much time so the last two units are done very quickly with little in the way of extensions. The dates are for G-Block. E-Block loses a day on Conic Sections because of MCAS.
Conic Sections are covered in Ch 8 of the Demana book and Ch 6 of the Brown book.

There are many old tests and finals available online for you to use as practice for the final. Be ready so you won't be nervous.

Revising the schedule for the matrices

Given the nature of the schedule during AP's, the Matrix Test has moved to Monday, May 16th. Finish (and understand) all packets by then and you should be fine. Look over your Matrix Skills sheet to be sure.

Matrices

The study of matrices involves the most recent applications of mathematics that we study. While understanding the techniques required to manually manipulate the data, we will spend a lot of time using the calculator and the computer.
