CC MATHEMATICS   CHAOS AND CALCULUSSYLLABUS

Assignment 10/1:  due Thursday 10/3 at 5 PM

Turn in individual solutions. You may work together in solving the problems, or get help from others, but the final write-up should be your own. Do not turn in anything you cannot explain completely.

Individual solutions, as usual. 

Calculus  Turn this into the green drop box
               
Chapter 33 (correction: not 34) # 8 13 18: Use Mathematica's Apart[ ] command. E.g. Apart[ 1/(x^2-1)] =1/2(x-1)-1/2(x+1). Then integrate the result (calculate this part yourself)
                Chapter 35 # 17a 17c 17d 20c 23 26b 26c 27a 27b
                Don't turn these in: Just make sure you understand them. Chapter 42 #1d 1e 1f 2a 2b 2c 
                Note: Chapter 44 and 45 are due on Wednesday


Chaos/infinity: Look at the Stanislaw Lem story and asnwer the following
                Question One:
In the first one hundred rooms of  the Hotel Cosmos, how many are empty in 
                a) Ion's correction using prime powers for the bookkeepers multiple bunking solution?
                b) The directors method with powers of twos and threes?
                 Question Two: Consider the President of the Academy of Mathematics in the galaxy Swan's solution.
                a) If a guest was in hotel 156 and room 48, where will the guest be placed when the infinite number of hotels are combined? 
                b) Suppose a guest arrives from one of the closed hotels and checks in with everyone else from the 
                    infinite number of closing hotels, and is placed in room 763.  What hotel and room number did the
                    guest come from?
