Snow update: As a result of the missed class today, I have decided to merge together our Matrix Unit Test (previously scheduled for this Friday) and our Semester Final. Thus, we will have only one exam, on Tuesday the 13th from 10:20-11:50 am. Think of it as an extended unit test. Most of the problems will be matrix problems, with a few vector problems to round things out. You can use the SL formula sheet that is available here during the test. Note that it includes formulae for the determinant and inverse of a 2x2 matrix and for the determinant of a 3x3 matrix. If there are inverses of a 3x3, you will be allowed to use a calculator (the IB standard for SL). There are also a few vector equations on that sheet that are worth reviewing (eg. dot product and angle between vectors...)
In preparation for the exams, I would encourage you to do all the problems on the handout that I gave out as well as finishing up the H& H section 11.E assignment. See you Wednesday,
Mr. Alei
