Last year's maths is easy, this year's maths is hard and next year's maths is impossible.
The second 15% test will take place at 9 am Tuesday 22 November in B149 (Week 11). A slight change in format to last year: this year the format will be as per this sample (although there will be space to write your answers into).
You will be given from 09.05 — 10.00. You will be given a copy of these tables.
We worked on antidifferentiation by substitution.
We will continue to work on substitution and maybe start partial fractions.
Has been sent to you. Please read the instructions carefully.The hand-up date is Monday 21 November.
Assessment 3 will be on the Wednesday of Week 9, 9 November 2016.
The following group will sit the assessment at 17:15 (arrive around 17:05):
The following group will sit the assessment at 18:15 (arrive around 18:05)
Keep an eye on your CIT Blackboard and email for the latest and definitive assessment information.
We looked at quadratic and simultaneous equations.
We will look at functions and begin looking at indices and scientific notation.
Have been emailed to you. I will send on solutions tomorrow.

We started evaluating some straightforward integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
We will start looking into antidifferentiation by substitution.
Due to the Bank Holiday, 2B missed out on a tutorial. We will have a replacement class, Wednesday 9 November at 11:00, in B165.
As can be seen here in the Module Descriptor, there will be two 15% tests: one in Week 6 and one in Week 11. I hope to give you two week’s notice of each and there are sample tests in the notes.
Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or even better on this webpage.

This post follows on from this post where the logic for the below is discussed. I am not going to define here what easy means!
Here is the strategy/guiding principle:
Fundamental Principle of Solving ‘Easy’ Equations
Identify what is difficult or troublesome about the equation and get rid of it. As long as you do the same thing to both numbers (the “Lhs” and the “Rhs”), the equation will be replaced by a simpler equation with the same solution.

In Week 7 we finished off the first chapter and began the second chapter: on Integration.
In Week 8 we will start evaluating some straightforward integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Then we will look into anti-differentiation in more detail.

We started the third chapter on algebra and have started looking at equations.
We will spend more time talking about equations.

In Week 6 we did some more max/min problems and even some applied examples.
In Week 7 we will finish off the first chapter and begin the second chapter: on Integration.
