Mathematics 514
|
The course consists of the following four topics with continued
emphasis on problem solving solving techniques.
- Optimization: graph theory (including directed graphs,
paths and circuits), Systems of Linear Inequalities, polygon of
constraint and optimal solutions,
- Statistics: two-variable distribution table, scatter plots,
estimating and interpreting linear correlation.
- Probability: Conditional Probability, odds; mathematical
expectation.
- Geometry: distance between points, division of a line
segment, geometric probability.

The Lester B. Pearson School Board, Curriculum Selection Booklet, 2001-2,

will help students prepare for and take mathematics 514. Some hunting
for what is needed is recommended.
A call for fractions
Student with a weak fraction sense and skills are inviting
failure or substandard performance.
- Probability, here is an echo of secondary II mathematics. Probability uses
counting principles and tree diagram to illustrate and
emphasize exact calculations with whole numbers and fractions.
Probability demands and provides opportunities for verification and
re-enforcement of fraction sense and skills should not be
missed. Student with a weak fraction sense and skills are
inviting failure or substandard comprehension.
- Optimization in the discussion of Systems of Linear Inequalities, polygon
of constraint and optimal solutions, also demands strong fraction sense and
skills. Student with a weak fraction sense and skills are
inviting failure or substandard comprehension.

Area pages represent an effort to follow and understand the objectives of the
1997-2005, the prior reform, and the
text books required and used 1997-2005. In retrospect, the objectives and texts
in question
are too incoherent, too full of nonsense, for rational comprehension and for
service as a base for the current reform. A farce is a farce,
is a farce
