One of them is kind of cute.

My first quiz for MATH212 is due tomorrow at Midnight.
I was nervous about it because:
1) It was 20 questions, whereas the quizzes for MATH211 were 8 questions.
2) The time limit was 4 hours, which suggests that the professor expects that some students might need four hours to complete it.
3) For this class, only one attempts is allowed. For MATH211 and most other online Ivy Tech classes, the instructor allows a do-over on quizzes (but not on the proctored exams).
So . . . I started at about 6:30 PM today. When I finished, it was about 8:40 PM. When I have time left, I usually check my work and rework as many as I can in the allowed time just to make sure. For some reason, I was just too fatigued to check my work. Against my better judgment . . . and remembering that DETAILS MATTER . . . I submitted without any review. I was hoping to be above 90%, but expecting about 85%. Instead . . . 100%.
I feel pretty good!
Now I'm going to take the rest of the night away from any more homework or studying. I may even take tomorrow off too!
Not really a Saturday "night" activity, but took the 3 grandkids to Great Times yesterday afternoon. After about 15 minutes I was starting to get pretty anxiety-ridden. All those kids, general noise level and flashing lights had me ready to go outside and stand in the rain. Fortunately the kids got bored after about an hour and were ready to leave.
Must not have been the "Great Times" they expected

You're a brave man indeed! The GF says she can actually see a physical reaction in me when I get around kids. (Can't stand most of them due to poor parentage on their part)
Most of the times have been adjusted to give EVERYONE a chance.
So, if you're a bit above the cut...
Shut down Ingo and watched about an hour of the Mecham auction.
I guess watching people buy cars I dream of owning is an acceptable pastime.....
I had a beautiful woman cuddled up to me on the couch and all I did about it was fall asleep by 1030 lol now that's lame

Morning fellow compatriots co-conspirators and some constabularys?
I may not be the only one not knowing how calculus applies in life. I loved math in school until i got to algebra and it all came crashing down. Some would say the world and all in it is numbers? I may love it and don't know it? Yes, I could just search the word and get a defintion although that sounds dry. Some practical application

Been Saturday nightin' for about two weeks now. Put my car and truck up for sale and they both sold within 24 hours of each other and within 72 hours of placing the ad. Hadn't really planned on that. Been looking at new F150's but if I'm buying new I want specific options which has been difficult to find to say the least. I thought I had one located in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan of all places and with the exchange rate was over $15k cheaper than the same on south of the border. Alas when they checked inventory it had been sold two days prior.
Talking with several dealers across several states and as expected the advertised prices and deals seem to vaporize when you call and start talking turkey so plan "B" is a used '17 or '18 GMC of which I've found several reasonably local. Guess I'm taking the day off and borrowing the GF's car tuesday!
Calculus has more practical applications than you could list here. Calculus is about describing rates of change, which happens in physics, finance, biology, population growth, economics, you name it.
Isaac Newton invented it specifically to efficiently describe motion, its characteristics, and what affects motion. That's as practical as it gets! If I do an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity (which is a critically important value in many, many real world applications), I can use that (knowing that it's a constant for a given position) and determine expressions for velocity and displacement using calculus.
Algebra? Algebra is just another dialect of language that helps you concisely describe certain things. You have to be fluent in algebra to do calculus because calculus from its fundamental theorem to almost all applications requires algebraic manipulations to get to solutions of real world problems and models of real world problems.
I've used algebra in instrumentation.
Simple algebra, but still algebra.
