We're reviewing our knowledge about vectors and then looking more at new topics with vectors. We'll have a full class exam on 2D and 3D vector algebra and geometry on Monday, 9/26. This includes vector notation, vector component form, unit vector form, adding/subtracting/scaling vectors algebraically and geometrically on a drawing, vector magnitude, and dot product between vectors.
Thursday, 9/15 - we reviewed vector notation and vector arithmetic. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is Exercise 8.1 & 8.2 #2a, 2b, 4a,c,d, 9, 12a, 16. Your HW is due Monday - I won't collect it, but will just check that you did it.
Friday, 9/16 - we reviewed problems involving vector length. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Monday is Exercise 8.1 & 8.2 #2a, 2b, 4a,c,d, 9, 12a, 16 (which I won't collect, but just check). Your HW is also to make a mind map of your choice, also due Monday, and this one I will collect.
Monday, 9/19 - we reviewed the dot product on 2D vectors. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due tomorrow is Exercise 8.1 & 8.2 #3,7,11,12b (which I won't collect, but just check).
Tuesday, 9/20 - we were introduced to 3D vectors and noticed that the work we can do with them is not so different than the work we do with 2D vectors. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is Exercise 12.1 #8a,9c,10a. Exercise 12.2 #1b,e,8b (which I won't collect, but just check, and this is true for almost all math homework - I'd tell you otherwise).
Wednesday, 9/21 - we did some challenging problems with 3D vectors. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is Exercise 12.2 #5b,6,14,(16* optional challenge).
Thursday, 9/22 - we continued to practice for our exam on Monday with more 3D vector practice questions. Here are the slides from class. Here is the worksheet of 3D vector problems from class. Your HW, which is due Monday to accommodate your EE writing, is Exercise 12.2 #13,17,18a.
Friday, 9/23 - we continued to practice for our exam on Monday. Here is another worksheet of 3D vector problems. Here are the answers to those problems. Your HW is the same from yesterday, due Monday, is Exercise 12.2 #13,17,18a.
Monday, 9/26 - we have an exam on 3D vector algebra & geometry: vector notation, vector component form, unit vector form, adding/subtracting/scaling vectors algebraically and geometrically on a drawing, vector magnitude, and dot product between vectors.
