College Deadline Fri. 2/1 - Last day to elect Pass/NoPass

Elect P/NP in person at Admissions and Records - they are generally closed on Friday afternoons, so go Friday morning or earlier in the week if you wish to elect this option.

 Linear Programming Lab Due Wed 2/6 at start of class.

email the instructor for a copy if you were absent and need a copy of the alternate version of the lab.
All absent students were sent an email about this.
The lab can not be posted on the website.
The instructor will send you a copy if you email before Tues 9pm.

Exam 2 Chapters 3 and 4 Linear Programming :  FRIDAY 2/8

• This exam will have very few questions as they can be time consuming. 
• 5 questions
• 2 problems to do the math to solve: one graphical linear program, one simplex method standard maximum linear program
• 3 problems interpreting word problems into linear program mathematically (objective function and inequality constraints) and interpreting solutions to problems if given the final simplex tableau (but you do not do the graph or simplex to solve them).
• If you need practice problems for the Exam, try review sections 3.3 min and max problems for graphical method and section 4.4 max problems for simplex method. 
  
  
• Exam corresponds to chapter 3 homework and to chapter 4 homeworks 4A, 4B, 4C (but NOT 4D)
  (Because we did a lab for minimization by simplex, then we did not do DUALITY in chapter 4.3 so skip assignment 4D and the DUAL from 4D is not on this exam)

Worksheet #1 ANNUITY/LOAN FORMULA WORKSHEET is here - it is fast and worth 8 points.
DUE MONDAY 2/25.

• Print it out, and follow instructions on worksheet
• Worksheet #1 explores the process of finding accumulated or present value of an annuity step by step (similar to what we did in class on Tues at start of 6.3)
• Then you use the appropriate formula to verify that the formula duplicates the process
• Intended to take the "magic" out of the formula - now you have hands on practice to know what the formula does for you.

Worksheet #2 Amortization Schedule Worksheet was given out in class on 2/22:  (10 points):
DUE FRIDAY 3/1

• Do the work on the worksheet and hand in the work on the worksheet.
• Instructions are on reverse side of the worksheet
• Section 6.5 also contains an example and explanation of amortization schedules
• This worksheet has individual data for each student, so it can not be posted online.
  You need to see the instructor to get the worksheet.
• Students may work together to figure out what types of calculations to do, etc, but you must each hand in your own worksheet with your own individualized data that you received from the instructor.  Since all the worksheets have different data overall, you can not copy the numerical answers from somebody elses's worksheet - their answer will not be correct for your worksheet.

We may also do a home purchase mortgage worksheet.  If we do, it will also be distributed in class with individual data.
It is not certain yet if we are doing this worksheet or not this quarter.

(We will skip section 7.7 which is not required for this course.)
We will start Chapter 8 probability this week after we finish section 7.6

Probability Notes for Chapter 8 and 9 - select one version from below - same content different formats

• pdf of scanned printout 
  equations render correctly as images
• pdf directly from Word text
  text in file is ADA accessible but equations may not render correctly on all computers/printers

It is highly recommended that you print out the Probability Notes and bring to class to take notes for Chapters 8 and 9 Probability topics

See Chapter 7 Resources and Assignments page  for: 

•   Chapter 7 List of Assigned Problems to do for homework

See Chapter 8,9 Resources and Assignments page  for:

•  Link to Video example for Bayes' Theorem Section 9.2

Quiz #5 Wednesday

Covers 7.1 - 7.6 and 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and conditional probability from 8.4

 You are permitted one half page of notes two sided, ( or equivalently, 1 page, 1 side only) - similar to notes rule for our past exam and quiz.

We completed chapter 9 sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 this week (are now done with everything in the chapter 8 and 9 probability notes -  see the chapter 8 and 9 resources page).
We are not covering section 9.4.  We have already done a lot of probability with trees in section 9.2 so are skipping and not covering section 9.4

See Chapter 8,9 Resources and Assignments page   for: 

•  Chapters 8 & 9 List of Assigned Problems to do for homework
•  Link to Video example for Bayes' Theorem Section 9.2
• Chapter 8 & 9 probability class notes (these are the notes outline, not the completed notes.  If you were absent get completed notes from a classmate or take a picture of instructor's completed notes in class.

Exam #4 Tuesday 3/19  Chapters 7, 8, 9
Sets, Counting, and Probability

• Sections 7.1-7.6, 8.1-8.1, 9.1-9.3
• You are permitted one whole page two sided of notes for this exam.
• We did not cover section 7.7 or 9.4, so those two sections will not be on the exam.
• Instructor has office hours Monday morning and afternoon if you have questions and need help
• Statistics Tutors are the best source of help in the Tutorial Center S43, if you can not find a finite math tutor.  Statistics tutors are familiar with a lot but maybe not all of the material in Chapters 7, 8, 9.  Instructor is the best source of help if you can't find helpful tutors for this class in the tutorial center.
