Algebra 2 - 9/26/11

So Unit 3 is underway as we work with systems of equations and inequalities. The fun really begins now as we move into more complex systems - 3 dimensions and matrices! But this week, we'll focus on Linear Programming, a super useful tool in solving real world problems. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

Well folks, we need to pick up the pace a bit, and move on to other topics. So I've revised our problem list to concentrate on the remaining ideas involving vectors. I'll also present some problems in class to give you a basis for solving certain other problems more easily. We'll talk more about it in class. But be sure to work from the new set of problems which can be downloaded here.

HL - 9/26/11

A little experiment this week. Since our HW assignments are quite dynamic, and likely to become more so, I'm not going to update the page this week. If anyone complains, I'll know that this is a useful service. If not, I'll spend my time doing other things rather than keeping this page up every week.
