Update for week 3-5

Mat 1 reflection on week 3 and previews on week 4 and 5

We concluded the hyperbolic functions last week. Remember that you must be able to draw their graphs, calculate values in your calculator and proof identities. We also started with matrices. This is a big topic and will count a lot in tests and exams. Your have to be able to operate (+, -, x) with matrices. You must be able to obtain the determinant of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices. You must be able to obtain the inverse of a 2x2 and 3x3 matrices. You must be able to solve unknowns using Cramer (determinants) or matrix inversion.
During week four we will conclude this topic, and write another class test. The test will include: logs, exponents, hyperbolic functions and matrices.

In week five I will return your test on Monday and discuss the memo and wrap up all the topics from basic math and matrices. I will also introduce mensuration on Monday.
On Wednesday a visiting lecturer will take mensuration further with you and on Thursday another visiting lecturer will discuss the memo of the assignment with you. On Friday I am back and we will then continue with mensuration. Do not even think to stay away from class. Role call will be done daily.
