| 9/27/2009 | We will work on a variety of entertaining problems, brainteasers and puzzles. ⊟Details |
| 10/4/2009 | We will do more problems on coloring maps as well as a variety of other topics. ⊟Details |
| 10/11/2009 | We will continue with the handout from last time and will solve problems on a variety of topics. ⊟Details |
| 10/18/2009 | |
| 10/25/2009 | |
| 11/1/2009 | We will continue going over examples of the addition and multiplication principles. Then we will learn about Venn diagrams and double counting in order to begin counting more complex sets. ⊟Details |
| 11/01/2009 | This week students will get more practice with doing calculations mod n, and using modular arithmetic in solving divisibility problems. ⊟Details |
| 11/8/2009 | |
| 11/15/2009 | In Carey's group, we will go over the homework, and begin applying what we have learned so far to counting with repetitions and the idea of a "combination." Attached are last week's handouts and the homework. In Mike's group, we will review/introduce the notions of least common multiple and greatest common divisor. Euclid's method, and various realizations of gcd's will be covered. ⊟Details |
| 11/22/2009 | In Mike's group, we will continue our study of greatest common divisors and least common multiples, and their application to problems in modular arithmetic and remainders.
In Carey's group, we look more at combinations and several cases with choosing 2 or 3 objects from a larger set. We also do a colored picross where different colors do not necessarily need to be separated by squares.
