Infinite Geometric Series

We continued on today into the next lesson on geometric series; infinite series.
Max started of by giving on a few notes and we got yet another handy little equation.
After the notes we went through some examples.We were assigned exercise #47, questions 1-9.
Towards the end of class we went through the "Blog Cleanup". (Mainly Labels)

Well after a few people(who will not be named...) came to class late, Mr. Max got right to teaching us Geometric series. The newest update to our greek alphabet fluency was the "sigma":


Then, after a definition, we went on to some examples:


And then Finite Geometric Series:

These examples, however, were skewed by some off topic discussions about ethics and vocabulary. We decided we should all be a little more like Marc and Craig Kielburger, the brothers from Thornhill, Ont., who formed Free the Children, an organization that builds schools in developing countries. We also talked about words that mean something that is not quite a theorem(not sure if that makes much sense) like conjecture, hypothesis, philosophy, educated guess, etc.

And finally, the homework....yaaaay. Ex. 46, 1-11

Oh! One more yay!(this one not so sarcastic) There is only one more day of new stuff to learn! Then its review until the exam.
