In recent years our independent study class has been about the care and feeding of Linux Clusters: How to Build A Cluster, How To Program A Cluster and What Can We Do With A Cluster? 

BTW, Shadowfax is the name of the cluster we build! FYI, we offer 4 computing courses: 

CSH: Computer Science Honors with an introduction to coding in Python using SAGE, IDLE, VIDLE and Trinket, 

CSA: AP Computer Science A using CS50, this IDE and this IDE and OpenProcessing, 

CSI: Computing Science Independent Study using OpenMPI and 

CSL: Computing Science Lab which is a co-requisite for Calculus students using Computer Algebra Systems such as SAGE.

MAT225 - Multivariable Calculus: Getting Organized! (SSII 2020 - WEEK00)

MAT225 - Multivariable Calculus:
Getting Organized!
(SSII 2020 - WEEK00)

What About Elementary Calculus?
Welcome to my Summer Session II (July) MAT225 Multivariable Calculus aka Calc III class at Nassau Community College! I'm devoting the month of June to getting organized to teach this class. This is a bear of a course to teach in 5 weeks, so we have to get ready!

To that end, I just wrote my syllabus and set up my Blackboard page and Zoom meetings for this course and sent a mass email to all my students about joining my Blackboard. I also rewrote all my Class Notes, preTESTs, TESTs and Solution Sets! I used Squid a lot to write my notes. I'm going to use Squid to grade my tests too! Students can use Squid to write their tests solutions directly on the pdf I send them or they can print the TEST and use CamScanner to make a pdf to email their solutions back to me. 

 I'm using Blackboard Email, Kaltura Video, Quickly Attendance and Quickly Grade Center extensively this summer since we are stuck working remotely during the COVID19 Pandemic.

What about Elementary Calculus? Well, I find that students taking this course tend to be a little rusty on concepts from Calculus I & Calculus II especially if they took those courses a while ago. Since Calculus III extends many concepts from Elementary Calculus (MAT122+MAT123 or AP Calclus AB+BC) to higher dimensions, I suppose that a little review is in order. So, we will start most classes (not testing days) with a short review of an important topic from Elementary Calculus (Limits & The Difference Quotient, Product Rule and Quotient Rule, Chain Rule, etc).

We will meet for 3 hours per night, 4 nights per week for 5 weeks straight from Monday 6/29/2020 to Thursday 7/30/2020. The first 2 days of each week will be devoted to new material. The 3rd day will be devoted to review in Zoom Breakout Rooms! The fourth day will be reserved for review and testing.

What follows is a summary of the first few posts I sent to my students on Blackboard:
FYI #1) Please make sure to download, print and return the attached form before our first meeting on 6/29!

FYI #2) TI83/84 are fine for Elementary Calculus but we need more powerful tech: 3D Grapher and Computer Algebra System. I've used graphing calculators such as the TI89/92 line as well as the TI nSpire CX CAS but even these devices are limited. So, we will primarily be using SageCell in class.
(Ti84C)

FYI #3) Since we will be using SageCell in class, I encourage you to use one Laptop or Tablet to follow the lecture plus another device to use for SAGE calculations. 
(SAGE Banner)
FYI #4) You may use the graphing calculator of your choice for basic calculations (algebra, trigonometry, preCalculus, Elementary Calculus) but you will want to use SageCell for Multivariable Calculus. SageCell is based on FLOSS. I use FLOSS every day, do you? FLOSS stands for Free Linux Open Source Software. Paramount among these software packages is Python. We will be learning Math Pythonically! SageCell is free to use online so you can access it in class and at home. There's a commercial version of SAGE called CoCalc if you prefer, but it costs $5 per month per user. Both of these systems run in the cloud, aka Google Compute Platform (GCP).
(Sample SageCell)

FYI #5) I will record ScreenCasts in class using MP4 format whenever I cover a new topic using Screencast-o-matic on my Chromebook. I will also be sharig these files via Kaltura on Blackboard.
(Screencast-O-Matic)

FYI #6) Our room was supposed to be B218 which is a large lecture hall spanning 2 stories of the B Cluster. The A/C is pumped in from the roof of the building and is very strong. Cool air tends to pool in the lower level of the room, please dress warmly. This doesn't matter anymore since were working remotely from home!
(Kindle Fire HDX Tablet)

FYI #7) So, if I'm not using the MarkerBoards/WhiteBoards in B218, we'll need an IWB (Interactive WhiteBoard aka SmartBoard), right? Nope, we don't have a SmartBoard, so I was going to mirror (with TeamViewer or SplashTop app) my PC Desktop to my Samsung Galaxy NotePro 12.2 Android Tablet or Samsung Chromebook Plus and write on my Tablet as if it were a SmartBoard! Now I have a Zoom studio at home made up of 3 Chromebooks instead (one for my notes, another to broadcast the lesson to you and a third to monitor what you see on your end)
(My Desktop - B218 Front)

FYI #8) B218 also has a PC Media Center/Podium with multiple PC Projectors and HDTVs so you can see everything I do on my PC even if you sit in the balcony! I was going to be doing everything on my PC so you wouldn't miss a thing if you sit in the upper level or if you miss class (aka on the ScreenCast).
(Your View - B218 Rear)

I got you covered!
Hope that was helpful!
See You in July!

Well, that's all folks.

Generally Speaking,
A. Jorge Garcia

AP CompSci A 2018-2019: Fare Thee Well, You Will Be Mised! (June)

AP CompSci A 2018-2019:
Fare Thee Well, You Will Be Missed!
(June)

JUNE UPDATE (last one):
I didn't get a chance to screencast the last 6 projects (listed below). Stay tuned, I'll probably do so over the summer!
Well, good bye to all my AP CompSci A students! We had fun with our AP Movie Marathon (The Martian, Immitation Game, Jobs) and Game Day, right? Hope you had a great year and you learned a lot! Have a great summer. Hope to see you next year!

LAB19 ScreenCasts



MAY UPDATE: 
We did a few new labs involving recursion:
C19X15 LSystems in JDK and openProcessing
C19X16 Math.java
We did a few new labs on inheritance:
C14X5 Employee
C14X6 Worker
We added a few labs to Lab07 (arrays)
C7X11 Chess960.java
C7X12 Game of Life in openProcessing
We also had AP Review, AP Exam Week, AP Movie Marathon and Final Projects!

Our last topic before AP Review was LAB19 Recursion. We didn't have a lot of time left for this topic, so all we did was override the static Math class by writing Math.java and making our own pow() method. We also added a Factorial method, a Fibonacci method and a Pascal Triangle number method. LAB20 is about Searching and Sorting algorithms. We just watched the infamous video: Sort Out Sorting!

BTW, we're loving our new cs50.io, aka c9.io, ide from the Amazon Cloud (AWS)! Don't forget about the Processing IDE! We just started using OpenProcessing online as they've just added Processing.js which is more compatible with Processing's IDE. The default mode is P5.js (javascript) but we switch to Processing.js (java) and all is well! So, we're computing in the cloud even when we use Processing! IDK, is OpenProcessing is on AWS or the Google Compute Platform (GCP)?
