I'm one of those weird
people who sometimes likes doing math in their spare time (or at work when bored.
Shh...). Anyway, in the OAC math textbooks (OAC is grade 13; we have
it in Ontario until it's phased out in a few years), there are these math
problems called "Problems Plus," which are (usually) challenging math problems
related to what the current unit is about. Well, at the end of the
year, I scanned all the ones in my Calculus and Finite Math books so I
could do them over the summer when I found myself with nothing to do.
I kinda wish I had an Algebra & Geometry book, too, but I took that
last semester : P In that class, we were able to do Problems Pluses
for 1 mark bonus each on the exam. I did 17 of them (got 15.5 bonus,
a new 'record'), and ended up with 101 on the exam : P (I don't think
we're allowed to get more than 101).
Anyway, I've decided
to post these things on my website. Try them, they're kinda fun.
I'll also link to my solutions. Please tell me if you notice that
I'm wrong!
Anyway, onward... |
