Pre-Calculus 40S Hi Everyone:
-Today is Wednesday, April 4, 2018. We've just had our Spring Break and have completed one class (two days ago). I reverted from my original plan for the night somewhat, so here comes the scoop!
-We did a quick touch on Inverses and an even quicker touch on Composition of Functions. There is a handout for both those topics. However, I really wanted to get into the Unit Circle, Radians and Degrees material that I changed up the plan in the last hour.
-If you missed Monday's class, try your best to watch the videos by profrobbob, Standard Position Angle Parts 1 and 2. It shows how 180 degrees = 𝝿 radians.
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5SoWzBSUmY
-I will tie up the Compositions of Function topic in the first hour tonight.
-Don't forget we have a test next week Wednesday, which marks the half way point of our course.

Pre-Calculus First night with Joe

Hi Everyone:
  Well, it's great to have met you and I'm looking forward to a fun and productive semester here at AEC. This first post is to show you that I'm not the only person who is able to teach you your math. There are plenty of others - 'youtubers', with fabulous skills. Tonight, I want to introduce you to my personal favourite - PROFROBBOB. The lesson we did in class is a direct take-off from his lesson that can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFZOnAcuVLM.
  So, now that you've taken the notes on parabolas and things about them, sit back and enjoy.
  Stay in touch with me via email, phone, or this blog. Ask lots of questions. Attend as regularly as possible. In the meantime take care. Talk to you soon.

Basic and Continuing Math

Well Hi There. It's December 7, 2017:

   I have a link for a little interactive practice session on simple percent problems.

You will still need pencil and paper but it's a nice change from doing a worksheet. Have a great day.

Hi All:)

 November 23, 2017:  Ok, tonight is the night we meet at another location, and I hope everyone remembers that it's just a one-time thing.  Our topic tonight is Elevator Physics.  It's the explanation of why we feel a bit funny in an elevator when it speeds up or slows down.  Really, it is a very cool topic. The videos are to augment what we did in class, but if you weren't in class, they'll at least give you some idea of what it is we studied. See you soon:)

Hi Everyone: Well, golf season is officially over for us hardy Winnipegers, but the Jets are winning, so all is well:). Times are busy at our little adult school in the North End so the post today is just a quick list of links to some videos about Free Body Diagrams. They are simple diagrams which show the forces acting on a given object. As usual, the videos won't match up perfectly with my lessons, but they are great resources. So have a watch and listen and enjoy:)

Physics 30S

Vectors

Hi Everyone: It’s Wednesday, October 18, 2017. Well, we had a grand time last night doing vector drawings, and you learned and picked up on it very well. Here are a few videos that review what we’ve done and preview what is to come. The lesson at the end of the day was, YOU CAN ADD VECTORS IN ANY ORDER AND STILL GET THE SAME RESULTANT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpNd6nGN-pY   We’ve seen some good Kinematics videos from him. The notation is a bit different than ours but not enough to cause any problems.  PhysicsEHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p-uxbu24AM   Vector addition Part 1 – D. Cauf.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_TnqKX5ybY  vector addition – algebraically (time: 14:43) packed with information -  it will probably take at least an hour in class to go through this.

        A reminder that there is no class on Thursday, Oct 19.

Physics 30S. So today is Monday, October 2, and I just wanted to give you a quick update about what we did and what is to come in the next few class or so. We are studying Uniform Motion and Kinematics graphs. We studied P/T and V/T graphs and the meanings of their slopes and area between the line and the x-axis for V/T graphs.

On Tuesday we will continue this discussion to include curved P/T graphs and introduce the concept of acceleration and its associated graph. That will be followed by an in-class assignment based on those items.

In relation to the kinematics graphs, we will develop a few of the “Big Five” kinematics equations that use t, v₁ , v₂, d, and a. Finally, we will use our Big Five to solve problems that involve Uniform motion.

Graphs of Kinematics

Ok here are three videos that match up with my lesson that I gave on Tuesday evening. Now the concepts are all the same but you may see a very slight terminology change or numerical change. They are 99% the same, though. Enjoy😊

Part 3 is omitted for now – Determining instantaneous velocity

 from a curved Position-Time graph. We’ll do that on Tuesday Oct. 3.
