Dear Journal,

“Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.”

― Deepak Chopra 

This week, we had a long quiz and tackled Logarithmic Function.

The long quiz is not that easy. I think my answer in number 3 in the Problem Solving is wrong because instead of using 4 years, I made use of 2 years. Careless, indeed. I wish my score would be high because the quiz is really challenging.

Logarithmic Function seemed easy. But sometimes it gets confusing. But all in all, it’s a great and exciting topic for me. I’m looking forward for more.

Yours truly,

Dear Journal,

“If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.”

-         John Louis von Neumann

          This week, our math teacher Ma’am Lalalyn discussed about Half-life and Inverse Function.

          Half Life is easy. Especially when you understood it well and you know its formula. We had a quiz about this topic and the other applications of exponential functions. Luckily, I got 10 out of 12. For me this score is high enough. Because the quiz is so difficult that I am expecting a low score.

          Inverse Function is easy but confusing. Easy because you can predict its inverse function. You’ll just have to check it if your prediction is correct. Confusing because when it comes with complicated functions, it’s hard to solve for its inverse function.

Yours truly,

"Life is good for only two things, discovering mathematics and teaching mathematics"--Siméon Poisson

Last Week, Mrs. Lalalyn discussed about Applications of Exponential Functions. Specifically, Population Growth.

Application of Exponential Functions is easy but confusing. Why confusing? Because the formulas and variables are hard to pinpoint. Like P and Po. But all in all, the topic is enjoyable and fun.
