All right boys and girls tomorrow is test day ... Today we just went over all the stuff we should know for the test and what we should study and work on. We went over this stuff that we should know:





1. Matrix Vocabulary

-this is stuff like edge, route, vertex, node, commutative, scalar multiplication, matrix, multiplication, symmetry, element, route, one/two leg route, at most, and "1 sum"


2. Matrix Operations

-when we are talking about matirx operations we are talking about things like matirx addition, matrix subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multipliation.


-we have to be able to know when to use these and more importantly, how to use them. In the wise words of Mr. Max "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"



3. Nonsense Avoidance

- Matrix multiplication that actually makes sense.



4. Transition Matrices

-







*** REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR PERCENTAGE TO A DECIMAL WHEN CREATING A TRANSITON MATRIX ***





Stabilization will always occur




If you can multiply [A] by [B]^big number
then multiply [A] by [B]^ big number + 1 and get the same product then stabilization has been reached







5. Matrices and Networks



- Umm ... i dont really know how else i can describe this, the picture says it all ... another interesting quotes from Max a couple years ago when i was last in his class "Learn it, Live it, Love it"

Sorry, Jeff...I forgot to comment last week when you did this...Good job, and your post was the first one that I noticed you used a fairly innovative posting technique. I'd like for your classmates to see if they can determine what you did. Bonus mark (small marks) for the last test if anyone figures out what I noticed that Jeff did differently. Send me an email to my gmail account to claim your mark.
