If you're reading this you're either bored or you're a conscientious student who wanted to make sure you aren't skipping something important or you're a major procrastinator who is reading this on August 26th. In any case, I asked to do to two simple things this summer:
1) Make sure you have a graphing calculator for fall
and
2) Think about how ridiculous the weather man is: he tells you what the average high temperature is for today and then he tells you today's high, but he doesn't really tell you whether today is unusual or not. How would you know? How could you tell someone whether today is unusually hot or cold?
