Vectors

Here is the syllabus for the topics. In Demana it is the beginning of Chapter 6. In Brown it is Chapter 12

3/21   Intro to Vectors
             Demana p.464-465/3-27 by 3's and 29-39 odd and Brown p.423,425/5-7, 17-20
3/29   Angles between vectors, The Dot Product
             Brown p.444-445/1-19 odd, 23, 27-29
3/30   Vector Proofs (D: 6.1 and B: 12.1, 12.2)
             finish worksheet plus Brown p.425-426/21-23 and p.429-431/11,12,15,18,27-29,33,34
4/01   Equations of Lines, Vectors in 3D, End of Term 3
             finish worksheet plus B p.436-437/17,18,23 and D p.466/63,64
             If you still feel that you need extra practice to feel comfortable with the material,
             section 12.5 in the Brown book is the place to go (clear explanations, good
             diagrams, comprehensive problems).

4/04   More 3D:Equations of Planes, vectors perpendicular to planes (B: 12.5)
             Worksheet problems 1-10 plus B p.452/42-45 and p.455/15,21,28-31,33,34
             We talked about equations of planes & vectors perpendicular to the planes. Read the
             corresponding explanations in the book. They are very clear, have lots of examples and
             better pictures than anything I can draw. (This reading should be considered
             part of the homework!)
4/05   Spheres, vectors & planes, Angles between planes (B: 12.5, 12.6)
             B p.450-451/11,13,17,27,31-36,41,42 and p.456-458/21,25,27,34,35,37-39
4/06   The Cross Product
             Vector Cross Product worksheet
4/07   Projections, Distance from a point to a plane
             Work on worksheet and do "Points, Lines and Planes in 3D" problems 11-14

4/11   Extension problems

The test will either be Wednesday/Thursday (E and G Blocks respectively) or Friday 4/15.

4/16-4/24   April Vacation
