Hi blog people, Sorry for not getting to you sooner. I had two projects, an essay, a sonnet, and 2 quizzes… but the whole time, I was thinking, “Wow, I really wish I could be posting right now.” Alas, that was not to be… Just for the record, the whole idea of an…
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…
Hello! I guess I’ll talk about math stuff first. For the first time all year, I was able to finish my homework without feeling so nervous that I had to ask Allen if I was doing the problems correctly. The idea of adjacency matrices was simple enough, but i didn’t realize that by seeing what…
*yawn* Hey I’m back. Sorry, it’s not a very good way to start a blog post, but it’s exactly what I’m doing right now. Yawning. One reason is that I just saw the word yawn. Yes, I am very sensitive to yawns, in which that I can catch one in any way you can think…
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…
