Hey everybody! It is snowing! But, as it is too dark outside for me to tell, I do not know if the snow is sticking. Using my best guessing skills, I don not think it is because never before has snow really stuck this year. This week we learned about Markov chains and transition matrices.…
Identity Matrices, faith_wicks, flickr, (CC) BY-NC 2.0 Hi, math class people! This week, I learned (back to generic openings) about matrices and Markov chains, named after Andrey Markov. Specifically, the kind of matrices that we covered are known as transitions matrices. These matrices can be used to analyze transitions between different states, like in games…
I hope the week number 25 brings all of us good fortune, because that certainly does not really describe me at the moment. I just spent about 4 hours finishing up my homework. I took notes on 3 chapters for since, did some of my assessment for math, and completed four vocabulary exercises for reading.…
zzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz- WHAT???? Oh, hi. Sup? Sorry. NEED SLEEP. Anyway… Haha I was working in the AV room with my fellow classmates. They are currently learning in Algebra 2. So one of them leaned over and asked, “Wait, you are doing matrices too?’ Um. Yes. MARKOV CHAINS!!!!! It’s pretty cool. Thought kinda hard to understand. So…
So it’s been a busy week, with the STEM fair over the weekend and March coming in (like a lamb, was it?) so quickly, it doesn’t even feel like third quarter. Well for me, anyway. About the STEM fair… well I honestly thought I could talk forever on this subject, but maybe not. I got…
Hey, It’s Duncan here with another blog post. Before we launch into math, though, let me tell you how much my weekend sucked. It started off fine; on Friday I gave what I thought were three pretty good presentations of my science project to three judges at the County STEM fair. After that, I went…
