CS 1025 01 - Week #8 October 10 thru 14



Monday, October 10th



  1. Review the RISE over the RUN concept. You will find it very useful for Test #1. The slope of a line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is the RISE change in the Y's divided by the RUN change in the X's.

  2. SHODOR Data Flyer in class exercise. Find the slope and intercept.
    Create the line that goes through the points (2, 1) and 8, 3).
    
    2  1
    8  3
    
      What is m?   
    
      What is b?  
    
      What is the y = mb + b equation?
    
      How can you find out what the exact slope 
                                  is that goes through the two points?
    
  3. Data Flyer practice ... Can you get the sum of squares below 6?

  4. Example of Maya 3D Graphics: A UNI students dorm room! Shown at the Spring 2013 Commencement. Created by a student who took Maya 3D Graphics class in Fall of 2012 in ITTC 134 classroom. CS 2880 11: Maya 3D Graphics.

  5. Tyler's Batball (Batman) adventures - Spring 2013 Maya 3D Grahics final project.

  6. A Lamps playful adventure: Kelly's MAYA project is inspired by the famous Luxo Lamp animation.

  1. See Monday list. We did the DATA FLYER problem for most of the class. Every table of students in both the 8 MWF and the 12 MWF class was able to get the sum of the squares to be less than 6. DO IT AGAIN ON YOUR OWN!

  2. NEW: Practice questions and sample test for Monte Carlo and for Turtle Trigonometry, created tonight.

    1. Do them before Friday. I will answer questions about them on Friday.
    2. If you can do these problems, you will be quite well prepared for the Monday exam.
    3. Do as many of them as you can. In honor of TRIgonometry, TRI them!
    4. Do NOT just wait until Friday to see the solution! Attempt them ahead of time.
    5. Consume some ink or pencil lead and scratch paper. Draw pictures.
    6. Study and use and take notes on the examples and solutions to similar problems.
      If you get STUCK on a problem, find a similar solved problem and work it out.
      Where are the solved examples and concepts? This entire web site is your TEXTBOOK! Use it!

  3. Solution to the MAYA data flyer problem. See Monday. We will look at the solution to this on Friday. y = mx + b. What is a good fitting equation for this problem?

  4. Maya 3D Graphics Ease In data for practice with SHODOR Data Flyer tool.

Friday, October 7th


  1. TEST ONE STUDY GUIDE: Test 01 Fall 2016

  2. Test one will be on Monday, October 17th...

  3. Review for TEST #1. Turtle TRIG with SINE, COSINE, and TANGENT for a 19 degree angle Where is Waldo question...

    The NetLOGO turtle graphics Where Is Waldo program code and graphics.
    How the 71 degree and the 19 degree angles and the length 15 hypotenuse were created.
