Assignment 1
See also Class Notes #01-#03 (Distance students: See Calculus video clips on GEN1 CD. Run CD by clicking on the program labeled Disk_1).
Distance Students: Video Versions of Class Notes Start on CD #2 with Class Notes #03; Classes #01-#02 on Combined CAL1_PH1_PC1 Disk #1.
Complete q_a_cal1_070113.exe #1 and submit corresponding SEND file using the Submit Work Form
Describing Graphs:
Distance Students: As you have been instructed, you should have run the program q_a_initial_pbs.exe, which you were instructed to download into your c:\vhmthphy folder. You should have been instructed to do the Describing Graphs problems and send the SEND file to the instructor. If you have not done this, do so now.
In-class students: You will be instructed regarding the Describing Graphs assignment.
Distance Students: View Calculus I clips on CAL1_PC1_PH1 DISK #1 and ponder questions posed in documentation
Complete Modeling Project #1, which is an introduction to modeling by quadratic functions using data and simulataneous equations, and to the realtionship between a function and its rate of change function. ** Note: If so instructed, and only in this case, instead of the problems stated in the documents, go to Randomized Problems, Calculus 1, Introductory Flow Model (Model 1), and randomly choose and submit one of the nine problem versions. These problems are similar but not identical to those in your documents. ** If you wish to use simulated data go to Randomized Problems and choose SIMULATED FLOW MODEL DATA **
When you have completed the entire assignment run query_cl1_qa_format_thru_16_080121.exe and submit the SEND file it creates using the Submit Work Form

i do not understand query questions, as to what /where data points come from. ie a particular model with temp/time or was i do a random model.
..if so instructed etc am i instructed to do for this assignment? i interpreted if so instructed for future assignments
** **
i completed the notes, watched video, made my notes and worked examples.
now the query wants info from a particular model but does not state which one
The statement could have been stated more clearly (I've edited it to hopefully make it clearer). Students often fail to complete the second of the worksheets, and I've also edited the instructions within the modeling project to put these worksheets on separate, bulleted lines.
Despite the questionable clarify of the instructions, the statement on the Assignments page does in fact say to complete the modeling project at the link entitled 'Modeling Project #1', and the subsequent instructions don't say otherwise, though they do offer the option to use simulated data for the flow experiment. The Randomized Problems offer alternative numbers for the problems assigned in the second worksheet.
In any case, go ahead and work through those exercises. If you're familiar with the material it doesn't take long. If you aren't it might take awhile but it's important stuff.
