6:37 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 1, please.
6:37 PM: John Beck(Ins): Oops, 7
6:37 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 8,please.
6:38 PM: John Beck(Ins): So if you have a scientific calculator with x!, it is going to evaluate Factorial Notation.
6:38 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 9, please.
6:39 PM: Shante Jackson has entered the room.
6:39 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 10, please.
6:39 PM: John Beck(Ins): Hi, Shante!
6:39 PM: John Beck(Ins): Shante, we are on Ch 2_p10.
6:39 PM: Shante Jackson: Hello everyone, ok
6:39 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay, let's click on Tools, then Calculator, please.
6:40 PM: John Beck(Ins): If you click and drag on the blue portion of the calculataor you can move it to a more comfortable position.
6:40 PM: John Beck(Ins): Let's click on 8, then n!, please.
6:41 PM: John Beck(Ins): Now let's click on the = sign.
6:41 PM: John Beck(Ins): Did you get 40320?
6:41 PM: Michelle Burrell: yes
6:41 PM: Kelly Fields: yes
6:41 PM: Crystal Peddicord: yes
6:41 PM: Mary Weaver: yes
6:41 PM: Lauren Blick: yes
6:41 PM: Michele Potter: yes
6:41 PM: Tajai Alderman has entered the room.
6:41 PM: John Beck(Ins): This calculator will be available when you take the on-campus exams, but I think you can also bring your own calculator.
6:41 PM: John Beck(Ins): Hi, Tajai!
6:42 PM: John Beck(Ins): Tajai, we're on Ch 2_p10
6:42 PM: Michelle Burrell: oh ok...that’s good to know
6:42 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay, let's click on "off" on the calculator.
6:42 PM: Tajai Alderman: Hello...Thanks
6:42 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 11, please.
6:43 PM: John Beck(Ins): 6! = 720
6:43 PM: John Beck(Ins): We could have used our calculator to determine that product.
6:43 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 12, please.
6:44 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 13, please.
6:44 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 14,please.
6:45 PM: John Beck(Ins): This is important --- 0! = 1
6:45 PM: John Beck(Ins): Remember, it is our game so we can define 0! any way we want to as long as it is consistant with our other rules.
6:46 PM: John Beck(Ins): In the meantime, memorize it -- 0! = 1
6:46 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 15, please.
6:46 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 16, please.
6:47 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 17, please.
6:47 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 18, please.
6:47 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 19, please.
6:48 PM: John Beck(Ins): Notice that I have 5! in the denominator (bottom) so I stopped at 5! in the numerator (top).
6:48 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 20, please.
6:49 PM: John Beck(Ins): I've canceled 5! in the numerator with 5! in the denominator (bottom).
6:49 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 21, please.
6:49 PM: John Beck(Ins): Notice that we still get 42 as the answer.
6:49 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 22, please.
6:50 PM: John Beck(Ins): Once again, I stopped at 8! in both the numerator and the denominator.
6:50 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 23, please.
6:50 PM: John Beck(Ins): Once again, I cancelled common factors.
6:50 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 24, please.
6:51 PM: John Beck(Ins): Everybody with me so far?
6:51 PM: Tajai Alderman: yeah
6:51 PM: Mary Weaver: I think so
6:51 PM: Kelly Fields: yeah
6:51 PM: Crystal Peddicord: yes
6:52 PM: Lauren Blick: yes
6:52 PM: Shante Jackson: yes
6:52 PM: Kelly Fields: would it work if you did it on the calculator like that?
6:52 PM: Sara Davis has entered the room.
6:52 PM: John Beck(Ins): Hmmm. I think somebody went out for a beer. Did I mention that if you go out for a beer you have to bring beer for all of us?
6:52 PM: John Beck(Ins): Hi, Sara!
6:53 PM: Sara Davis: Hi!
6:53 PM: John Beck(Ins): Sara, we're on Ch 2_p24
6:53 PM: Sara Davis: ok Im there
6:53 PM: John Beck(Ins): Kelly, you wouldn't see the cancellations, but yes, you need to cancel common factors even when you are using a calculator.
6:53 PM: John Beck(Ins): calculator.
6:54 PM: Michelle Burrell: i get it now!
6:54 PM: Lauren Blick: sorry guys but i have to run!
6:54 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay, now we're going to cover two new topics -- permutations and combinations.
6:54 PM: Lauren Blick: enjoy being snowed in again! goodnight.
6:54 PM: John Beck(Ins): Each of them will use factorial notation.
6:54 PM: Lauren Blick has left the room.
6:54 PM: John Beck(Ins): G'night, Lauren!
6:55 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay, let's go to page 25,please.
6:55 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 26, please.
6:56 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 27,please.
6:56 PM: Heather Rawls has entered the room.
6:56 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay, let's look at these two concepts -- repetition not allowed and order is important.
6:56 PM: John Beck(Ins): Hi, Heather!
6:56 PM: Heather Rawls: Hi!
6:56 PM: John Beck(Ins): Heather, we are on Ch 2_p27
6:56 PM: Heather Rawls: Thank you
6:57 PM: John Beck(Ins): Let's look at "repetition is not allowed". That means nobody get two turns.
6:57 PM: John Beck(Ins): You can't be the president and the secretary.
6:58 PM: John Beck(Ins): And you can't be the first violinist to perform and then be the 3rd violinist to perform.
6:58 PM: John Beck(Ins): Now let's look at "order is important" Suppose I tell you that my grandson is going to perform and that he will be the 3rd to perform.
6:59 PM: John Beck(Ins): Order is important. You can count and when you get to the 3rd performer, you know that is my grandson.
6:59 PM: John Beck(Ins): Okay?
6:59 PM: Kelly Fields: ok
6:59 PM: Heather Rawls: ok
6:59 PM: Michelle Burrell: ok
6:59 PM: Crystal Peddicord: ok
6:59 PM: Mary Weaver: ok

7:00 PM: John Beck(Ins): I love formulas.
7:00 PM: John Beck(Ins): And the really good news is that I supply the formulas on the exams!
7:00 PM: John Beck(Ins): What a guy!!!!!
7:00 PM: Heather Rawls: yippee
7:00 PM: Kelly Fields: yay
7:00 PM: Crystal Peddicord: thank you!
7:00 PM: Shante Jackson: We love you
7:00 PM: Mary Weaver: Good!
7:00 PM: Sara Davis: great!!
7:00 PM: Nancy Panshoukian: thank you
7:00 PM: John Beck(Ins): lol
7:00 PM: Michelle Burrell: great!!
7:00 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 29, please.
7:00 PM: Tajai Alderman: loving it
7:01 PM: John Beck(Ins): By the way, a, b, c.... could be Andy, Betty, Clyde, Dilbert, Eddy, and Fred.
7:01 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 30, please.
7:01 PM: John Beck(Ins): Here's our formula.
7:01 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 31, please.
7:02 PM: Michele Potter: I am going to need to leave I’m sorry....my daughter is getting into everything and I cant keep up! thank you Profesor Beck!
7:02 PM: John Beck(Ins): G'night, Michele!
7:02 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 32, please.
7:02 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 33, please.
7:03 PM: John Beck(Ins): I stopped at 4! since there was a 4! in the denominator (bottom).
7:03 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 34, please.
7:03 PM: John Beck(Ins): cancel common factors.
7:03 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 35, please.
7:03 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 36, please.
7:04 PM: John Beck(Ins): Here are 5 of the permutations. Andy and Betty. Then Andy and Clyde, etc.
7:04 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 37, please.
7:05 PM: John Beck(Ins): Here are 5 more of the permutations -- Betty and Andy ---- notice that Andy and Betty is not the same as Betty and Andy.
7:05 PM: John Beck(Ins): Order is important!!!
7:05 PM: Michelle Burrell: I get it!!
7:05 PM: Tajai Alderman: I see
7:05 PM: Nancy Panshoukian: i will be glad to get the
7:05 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 38, please.
7:05 PM: Nancy Panshoukian: cd
7:05 PM: John Beck(Ins): I agree, Nancy.
7:05 PM: John Beck(Ins): This snow storm has really fouled things up.
7:06 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 39, please.
7:06 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 40 and we'll see a possible interpretation for these permutations.
7:07 PM: John Beck(Ins): If you've ever bet on a horse race, this is called an "exacta.
7:07 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 41,please.
7:08 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 42, please.
7:08 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 43, please.
7:08 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 44,please.
7:08 PM: John Beck(Ins): Oops -- remember what 0! is equal to?
7:09 PM: Mary Weaver: 1
7:09 PM: Kelly Fields: 1
7:09 PM: John Beck(Ins): RIGHT
7:09 PM: John Beck(Ins): Now you know why we defined 0! to be 1.
7:09 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 45,please.
7:09 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 46, please.
7:09 PM: John Beck(Ins): Go to page 47, please.
