Week One Summer 2010 Shortcourse : Math in Science Context: Assignment Questions Post Answers

1. AC and DC both require a network to be distributed but AC does not require as heavy of a network as DC. What this means is that the transmission lines do not have to be as thick and the towers do not have to be as strong for an AC network as a DC network. With this being said, the AC network will not cost as must to build. The reason for this is because AC has higher voltage but lower current. DC has lower voltage and higher current.

2. I really liked the motion and velocity labs that we did today. The math that was used in these labs was more familar to me than the math that we used at the beginning of the week. If I am more familiar with the math concepts than it will be easier to engage my students.
