Assessment 4

Assessment 4 is today, Wednesday 26 November in the Melbourne Building at 6.15 pm. Keep an eye on your CIT Blackboard and email for the latest and definitive assessment information.

P.21 of the mathematical tables will be put on the exam paper. As a result the paper will be harder than the sample with ten MCQ and three longer questions.

Good practise for the longer, harder questions, is P.144, Q. 1-3, 7 and especially P.171 Q.8.

Week 11

In Week 11 we spoke speak briefly about how graphs are useful in science. The rest of the lectures were spent covering coordinate geometry of the line.

You will need graph paper for your Week 12 lectures and tutorials.

Week 12

In Week 12 we will verify Snell’s Law using a graph. Then we will discuss linear models and formulate a linear model for the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere using data and a graph. Then we will discuss how to linearise a non-linear relationship and finally model the spread of a disease — the whole time using graphs.
