Evidently my calculus final was a bit of a misnomer.
I have another chapter to work through on conic sections, and the corresponding test on the material.
The good news is that there does not appear to be a written assignment portion for this chapter, and my online scores have been satisfactory. I am already a bit ahead of where I need to be for this chapter. I've spent all day drawing parabolas (for some reason I am surprised that this is an acceptable plural. I would have expected parabolae, or something.) ellipses, and circles. Tomorrow, if things go according to plan, I will be done.
Crap. Even before I finish the post, plans are disintegrating. I have a birthday party to go to tomorrow. I would try to beg off, but it's family. They know where I sleep. Maybe I can squirm my way home at a reasonable time and take care of things.
If not? Sunday, then.
PS - I did some digging around, and found that both parabolas and parabolae are acceptable plurals. Since the word origin is Greek, I think "parabolae" is the appropriate form. Take that, auto-spellcheck!
