*''Mathematica'' Notebook(s): [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202210_2325/1Iteration.nb 1Iteration.nb]
 
*Things to do for Project 1: Answer all questions in the chapter. Questions 6 and 8 are central! Section 1.5 may help with understanding what is going on. Remember that answering "why" is always the most important thing in Mathematics.
 
* Here are [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202110_2325/Guidelines.pdf guidelines for writing your project reports].
 
*3. A Remark on Question 6: (4 min.)<br>

*Things to do:
 
#Explain how and why the EA works.
 
#Investigate Questions 1-6. What are your conjectures? Why are your conjectures true?
 
#(Skip Section 3.4.)
 
#Investigate the questions posed in Section 3.5: Are there GCD and EA for polynomials?
 
*5. Speed test: EA vs. PF (<2 min., interesting, but not really relevant):

==Project 3 (Chapter 9)==
 
*''Mathematica'' Notebook(s): [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202110_2325/3Parametric.nb 3Parametric.nb] (There is now a little "reset" button at the upper right corner of each animation.)
 
*[http://www.sosmath.com/trig/Trig5/trig5/pdf/pdf.html Trigonometric Identities]
 
*[http://www.xavier.edu/math-undergraduate-research/documents/Write.pdf  How to Write Mathematics, by ''Martin Erickson'']
 
*6. Introduction to Project 3 (14 min.):

*There are lots of definitions in the text. Make sure you understand all definitions.
 
* Things to do: Exercises 12-14, Questions 13-18, 9.5.3. (If you have the book: Exercise 2-4, Questions 1-6, Question 9.5.3.)
 
* Make lots of '''conjectures''' about symmetries, etc, and '''prove''' as many conjectures of yours as possible.
 
*I posted two more notebooks for you to look at: [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202210_2325/301CurveSalad.nb 301CurveSalad.nb] and [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202210_2325/302ProofwithoutWords.nb  302ProofwithoutWords.nb]. Read the accompanying text carefully.
