A great day for math...

Every once in a while, we have a day where the entire class is in a math groove. We had such a day in the math classes on Monday and were able to make up some ground toward where we should be on the syllabus. We are slowing down a bit in the Tuesday/Thursday classes, since they will have an extra class meeting. New homework assignments are given below:

In other math news...

Did ya have an exciting day on Monday? Monday was a special day on the calendar; August 9, 2010 (otherwise known as 8/9/10) is the eighth in the series of 12 "sequence days" that occur on the Julian calendar. A "sequence day" is one in which the numerical codes for month, day and year are all consecutive. There will be only four more this century, following approximately every 13 months:

9/10/11
10/11/12
11/12/13
12/13/14.

After December 13, 2014, we will have to wait 89 years for such an occurrence to repeat...on January 2, 2103 (a/k/a 1/2/03).

But don't fret; there's still ample opportunity to have math fun with the current year. We will ALL be in class on October 10, 2010, when the date will be 10/10/10.

Almost makes ya feel like fertilizing your lawn, doesn't it?
