Course Selection and Pi Day thoughts

What an amazing Pi Day!  At the end of the day, I saw SG gift his Math for America slinky over to IM and really that is what the spirit of Pi Day is all about.  What goes around comes around at 3.14 times the diameter no less.

Course Selections for Juniors
Many of you should strongly consider taking AP Calculus next year or just calculus based on your interest and courseload.  The incentive of taking the AP exam and possibly getting college credits really gives you a step up for college.

Similarly, I would say you should consider taking a Physics class.  My understanding is that completion of the General Physics course can earn you up to 8 credits at URI and many other colleges.  It is just a nice follow up course to Trigonometry too.

I will have limited email access the weekend, but feel free to email me if you have questions.  In general, if you are maintaining an A or solid B and consistently doing HW you should consider AP Calculus.

Good luck tomorrow and be nice to the sub.  You basically should be putting your recent HW into your folders with scores, taking out most of the old assignments (except tests) and then taking your quiz and handing it to him.  Calculators are not needed for this exam.

  1. Oh, so we have SUB tomorrow, eh? You lucky dog! You will miss the tangent that I had reserved for you!

    Well, anyway, Happy Belated Pi Day:
