Lecture outline on logs, exponentials

WebWork:

I would like everyone to try the first assignment, which is called "Orientation"as soon as possible. These are some simple problems you should all be able to do, together with instructions on using the interface. I am not counting your score on this one, but I want to see that you've at least tried a selection of the problems.

I will put up a 'real' assignment in the next couple of days.

VIDEO TUTORIAL (best viewed in fullscreen mode; use controls to pause or single step)

(Note: no sound in the video. This is from a different class, but the webwork assignment and instructions are the same.)

To log in to WebWork, go to

https://webwork.oer.hawaii.edu/webwork2/Math_242_Fall_2024_Ross/

Your login should be either your UH email address, or the part of that address before the @ sign. For example, if your UH email is myname@hawaii.edu, your login should be myname

Your initial password is your 8 digit UH ID number.

This is a FREE FOR YOU online homework system. As discussed in the syllabus and in class, I will be giving some assignments using it. It isn't hard to use, and will even let you check correctness of your answers before submitting them.
