Provides an explanation, examples, and a video lesson all related to matrices. [5:31]
Through a video lecture, students discover the visual side of the important applications of mathematics in practical life. More specifically, they will understand the relationship of mathematics and decoration or art.
Students explore the properties of composites using inexpensive materials and processing techniques. They create beams using Laffy Taffy and water, and a choice of various reinforcements (pasta, rice, candies) and fabricating temperatures. Student groups compete for the highest strength beam. They measure flexure strength with three-point bend tests and calculations. Results are compared and discussed to learn how different materials and reinforcement shapes affect material properties and performance.
Biology 2e is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides comprehensive coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens. Biology includes rich features that engage students in scientific inquiry, highlight careers in the biological sciences, and offer everyday applications. The book also includes various types of practice and homework questions that help students understand—and apply—key concepts. The 2nd edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Art and illustrations have been substantially improved, and the textbook features additional assessments and related resources.
By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following:
Describe epithelial tissues
Discuss the different types of connective tissues in animals
Describe three types of muscle tissues
Describe nervous tissue
Students learn about matrix addition and subtraction, and scalar multiplication. The tutorial consists of class notes, examples, and practice problems. Review exercises and a chapter quiz are included.
Two methods are demonstrated for finding the inverse of a matrix. The examples are detailed and easy to follow. Several interactive examples are also provided.
An upper-level explanation of clastic sedimentary rock classification. Charts, diagrams, and review questions are included. Be sure to click on the PDF Clastic Identification key.
This 12-minute video lesson provides another example of solving a system of linear equations by putting an augmented matrix into reduced row echelon form. [Linear Algebra playlist: Lesson 32 of 143]
Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.
This site has a good definition and examples of determinants, the site begins by explaining what the value of a determinant is, then gives an example of the determinant of a two by two matrix, a generic formula for finding the determinant of any square matrix, gives properties of determinants, determinants for special matrices and much more. This site contains many links to help with any unfamiliar terminology.
A collection of resources that teach students that, unlike multiplication of numbers, matrix multiplication for square matrices is not a commutative operation, but still satisfies the associative and distributive properties.
A free CK-12 account is required to view all materials.
An explanation of scatter plots followed by examples of the many different kinds of scatter plots.
This site teaches Vector and Matrix Quantities to High Schoolers through a series of 2195 questions and interactive activities aligned to 16 Common Core mathematics skills.
