Systems of Inequalities


Here are a couple of inequality graphs.

The grid is on a layer by it's self in the Inequality-Graph-XY.svg file. Change the visibility of the other layers to see other examples.

The multi-choice.svg file has multiple layers and a combined layer.

Example:

Wink: a useful utility.

Wink is a great little utility to make demonstrations about computer programs but it has other uses also.

I used wink the other day to record the server load of our new terminal server. I set wink to capture 1 screen per minute and the refresh rate on the server load graph so that it would not refresh the whole graph in less than a minute. This way I could get a visualization of what the server load was like.

Another great thing about wink is that it is free for personal or business use and works on both Linux and Windows.

Adventures with a bad laptop harddrive.

My brother gave me a call the other day wondering what is options are since his computer was taking 2-3 hours to boot and having thousands of dialogue messages pop up. After discussing things we came to the conclusion that his harddrive was bad. He got a replacement from dell but still wanted to save his data since he was able to read it from the bad hd.
He purchase usb hd.
Downloaded knoppix and I walked him through the following process.
We booted knoppix to make sure that we could see the old hd and the new USB hd, we could. So we proceeded to copy all fo the information over.
He installed the new harddrive but Windox XP was unable to recognize it. So formatted the drive (USB) as a FAT32 disk, while in windows. We then again booted into knoppix and copied the data over to the USB drive and presto windows was able to view all of the old data again. Man was he happy!

Augmented Matrix Solutions Presentation

Objective: To visually represent the solving of an augmented matrix. Description: A MS PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates the first steps of solving an augmented matrix. This presentation does not finish solving the problem yet but it gives enough information to understand the process. Currently the file does not work very well with OpenOffice but I hope to make it work with it before to long.

Perpendicular & Parallel Line Presentation

Objective:

Help students visualize perpendicular and parallel lines. Demonstration of slope perpendicular and parallel lines.

Description:

1 Intro. 2 Perpendicular on a graphs with line spin on click. 1 Perpendicular slopse and equations 2 Parallel lines on a graph with line spin on click. 1 Parrellel slopes and equations.
