Mathematics: All Classes: Friday 20.1.6: 1. period

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Charlie is busy looking over his notes of locker 327. Today would be a good day to volunteer for locker exploration on Saturday. He's sitting by his desk, which is in the front of the room, and the first thing you see when you enter (well, that, and the multiple blackboards and whiteboards). The table of foodness - which today contains danishes, coffee, juice, milk and cereals - is placed on Charlie's left, underneath a blackboard.

The desks are grouped according to classes. There's a group of six tables and chairs for the Beginners, a group of five for the Intermediates and a triangle for the Advanced group. In the back of the room are six computer terminals.


ooc: I realised it would help if the students knew what the room looked like as well...

Advanced:
"Read the chapter on Dimensions and pick a mathematical one to tell me about."

Intermediates:
"Please read the chapter on Numerical weather prediction, and then calculate today's wind chill."

Beginners:
"Look at this list of Mathematical jargons and pick one or two to define for the rest of the class."

"I decided to pick two terms that sounds kinda funny, so you can use them with your friends and make them think you're crazy. The first one is arbitrary, which refers to something done without the use of logic. For example, if you, say, duct tape a golf cart to the Principal's ceiling on a whim, that would be arbitrary. In math, pulling a number out of thin air and using it as the base of an argument would be considered arbitrary.

Aliter is Latin for "otherwise" or "by another way". It's basically used to show an alternate way of doing things, like another way to solve a problem."
