A bonus point opportunity that everyone should be able to take advantage of:
For 5 bonus points, write a list of advice to future students of the class you are taking. The list should have two parts.
In one part, put down things they should do to help themselves succeed in the class, things that they might not realize
the importance of. (Don't just say "read the book" and "do the homework", and don't copy from my greensheet.) In the other
part, put down mistakes that you (or people you know) made in your class/study habits that they should avoid making.
(Again, don't just say "I didn't read the book" and "I didn't do the homework". And don't put down specific algebra
mistakes you made.)
The more things you come up with, and the more specific and detailed you can be, the more bonus points you can earn.
I do intend to make your advice available to future students. However, your advice will be kept anonymous from them, so feel
free to be completely honest about mistakes you've made or observed.
This bonus point opportunity expires on Sun Nov 30, 2008 at 11:59pm.

tests. You may use any of the shortcuts discussed in class, but you will NOT be allowed to use a calculator of
any type.
To offset this slightly, I will allow you a little help: each other. At the start of the quiz, you will be given
the polar function you must graph. You may discuss this graph with anyone in the class, subject to these restrictions:
- You must hold your discussion at the front of the room.
- Once you sit down to start filling in your quiz, you cannot talk to anyone again.
- You may not use any writing or recording instrument when you are discussing the quiz.
- You may not have the quiz with you when you are discussing it.
I strongly urge you to show up early. Many of the best students arrive early, and once they sit down to begin their work,
you may not talk to them.
NOTE: You may use any additional algebraic techniques we discuss in Thursday's class. However, you should be able to
complete the graph without them.

Another demonstration of how your calculator is fundamentally "stupid": graph y = cos 48x on your calculator, but set the
window using ZTRIG (option 7 under the ZOOM menu). What did you expect to see, what do you actually see, and why don't the
two match up ?
This shows once again why you can't just put faith in your calculator and turn you brain off.

Math 1A: As you review for the midterm, you should notice that you have learned several different algebraic techniques
for finding limits. The more techniques you learn, the more you should realize that it is important to decide quickly the
correct technique for a particular problem, to avoid wasting time using the wrong technique.
Some students have asked for a way to make that decision. I will not be providing that to you,
because if I do, then I am simply programming you to do limits, like programming a calculator. Part of your education is
learning how to make decisions, and you can only really learn that by yourself and with each other. Otherwise, you are not
learning to make decisions, you are simply learning how to follow orders, which is not the point of higher education.
One hint I will give you: look back at all the limits you've found these past couple weeks. Break them down into groups,
according to which technique you used. Within each group, identify what all those questions had in common that lead you to
use the technique you used for the entire group. Do this for each group, then remember the correspondence between the
question type and the technique used. This is how you establish the decision making process for yourself. (Feel free to work
together on this.)
One final comment: while you may consider this a large task, the reality is that, in each course of the calculus sequence,
there is one class of problems which you will learn multiple ways to solve, and being able to decide quickly the correct
technique to use will be a major part of being able to succeed. It is better to learn how to create a decision making process
now, rather than struggling all the way through the sequence.
(In 1B, the class of problems is integrals. In 1C, the class of problems is series convergence. In 1D, the class of
problems is line/flux integrals. In 2A, the class of problems is first order ordinary differential equations.)
- tue oct 7 @ 7:30pm
Math 1A: A heads-up about how the calculator allowed/not allowed sections will work on Thursday's midterm.
You will start with your calculator on the floor. You will be given both halves of the midterm at the beginning,
on separate sheets of paper. You may work on either part. However, in order to pick up and use your calculator, you must
submit the calculator not allowed section. Once you submit that section, you will not be allowed to go back
to it. You will complete the rest of the midterm with your calculator.
Because of this structure, you are strongly encouraged to do as much work as possible on both sections
without your calculator, then submit the calculator not allowed section only when it is impossible to continue without using
your calculator. (Although there will be about five questions on the calculator allowed section, only one or two of those
will absolutely require a calculator. All other questions you should be able to do without a calculator.)

By now, you may have noticed that I often turn questions around and ask for your opinion, and more importantly if there is
any way to corroborate your answer without asking me.
One area in which this is most useful is homework questions. While some students have asked to use the solutions manual, and
I really have no issue with that, it is actually better for your learning process if you try to find ways to check your
answers using an entirely different technique from how you did the problem (if possible).
For example, for Math 1A, if you are asked to find a limit algebraically, you can "check" your answer by trying to find the
same limit numerically (using a calculator). That way, you check two different skills simultaneously, and increase your
understanding of the material.
For Math 49B, if you are asked to find the equation of a curve, you can check your answer by graphing the curve in your
calculator, and seeing if the graph matches the curve you were originally given. This allows you to check your calculator
skills at the same time you are checking your equation finding skills.

Do NOT put your names on the quizzes tomorrow. Instead, you will identify yourselves by answering the same four
questions at the end of the greensheet take home quiz.
You do NOT need to sign in on quiz days. Everyone who takes a quiz will be signed in automatically.

Your first individual quiz will be on Friday, and will cover the material taught (and homework assigned) on Tuesday and Wednesday.
That means sections 1.1 and part of 1.2 for Math 1A, and section 4.5 for Math 49B.

All greensheet quizzes are due (and must be correct) by Friday start of class. Those are the easiest 10 points you'll earn
all quarter, so don't throw them away.
Also, don't forgot that your first group quiz will be next Wednesday, and that you will receive the questions on Tuesday.
You must get yourselves into groups of 3 or 4 people by then. No bigger, no smaller. Don't ask for exceptions - there won't
be any granted.

More homework:
Math 1A: Section 1.3 = Writing Exercises 3; Problems 1-17 ODD, 24, 25, 27, 30, 31, 33, 35, 39, 41, 47b, 49, 53, 63, 69, 71, 72
This section is absolutely crucial to understanding how we come up with the derivative shortcuts in chapter 2,
and how to think at a calculus level. Work together if you get stuck. Don't jump to the solution manual until you've discussed
the problems with others.
Math 49B: Section 4.6 = 1-4, 7, 10, 16, 19, 20, 26, 27, 29, 61, 63, 71, 72, 73, 77, 81, 83, 87, 88
Many of the later problems involve looking at graphs in your calculator. This is the time to really learn how to use
your machine, and how to overcome its shortcomings.

More homework:
Math 1A: Section 1.2 = Writing Exercises 2, 4; Problems 1, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 25, 31-33, 41-43

Based on watching everyone try to sign in today, I have rewritten the spreadsheet to make the procedure a little easier (I hope).
In order to sign in now, you simply move to the row containing your name, and hit Control-Q. The spreadsheet
will enter the time you signed in into the correct slot.

If you didn't receive last week's e-mail (sent Wed Sep 17 around 7pm), or today's e-mail (sent a few minutes ago),
check your spam/bulk/junk mail folder. My e-mails are BCCed to all 3 classes simultaneously, which makes it look like spam
to some mail filters. Also, set your filter options to accept mail from all the following e-mail addresses:
- lobert@deanza.edu
- lobert@fhda.edu
- bsl3075@deanza.edu
- bsl3075@fhda.edu
If you still can't find my e-mail in your folders, please send your e-mail address to me at lobert@deanza.edu, so I can update your contact information.

Here are the greensheets and tentative schedules for this quarter. Bring your own copy of these to class on Mon Sep 22.
Generic greensheet (all classes)
Math 1A schedule
Math 49B schedule
Diary (see greensheet for details)
Math 1A: Review chapter 0 of the textbook. It covers precalculus topics which we will not review.
Math 49B: Review sections 4.1-4.4 of the textbook. It covers trigonometry topics which we will not review. You must know the exact values of the sine, cosine and tangent for the special angles based on 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees.
Look up the Professor's Rebuttal section of my entry on RateMyProfessors.com to find a 1 point bonus question.
