Week One Summer 2010 Shortcourse : Math in Science Context: Assignment Questions Post Answers: "Questions for Thurs. 1) Why is power delivered via AC not DC? 2) Have you and your group decided on a topic for your lesson plan? If not, ..."
From what I've read on the internet, AC power is cheaper to deliver and its delivery is much more efficient. The question of efficientcy stems from the fact that AC power is delivered using is low current yet the result is high voltage.
Concerning the lesson plan, I liked the linear motion exercises we used yesterday. I teach calculus, and this would be a nice way to reinforce the formal definition of derivative as well as the concept of derivative as rate of change. I'm looking forward to the lesson concerning radioactive decay because exponential growth and decay are such prominent topics in both calculus and precalculus.
