Mr. Lambert support page has been relocated

In October of 2009, I moved the Mr. Lambert Support page from this eblogger site to Face Book.

I found the social networking site to be very conducive to communicating with my students, athletes, other educators and parents.

With the advent of 3G technology everybody can get HW, test, quiz and note updates instantaneously using Face Book. We are virtually waling around with this new technology in our pockets in the form of "smart phones".

In the famous words of Neil Armstrong, while taking those first Precarious steps upon the moon, "That is one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind", I too am taking another step in Education; bringing it "beyond the brick and mortar."

Mr. Lambert

ES: eccentricity lab tomorrow in class. Look at the cover of the esrt for the formula. Zero is closest to a circle for an eccentric path of a sate lite and closer to 1 (one) the path is more elliptical like the shape of a football.
Study the diagram, note an e of 0 makes a circular path, and as the eccentricity number increase toward 1 (one) ie: .77, the path becomes flatter and longer. Click the diagram to be teleported to a flash animation on planet eccentricity.

THE SEPOY MUTINY

The growing Indian discontent with British Imperialism finally erupted on May 10, 1857. The sepoys, who were Indians trained by the British as soldiers, heard rumors that the cartridges for their new Enfield rifles were greased with lard and beef fat. Since the cow is sacred to Hindus, and the pig is abhorrent to Muslims, all the sepoys were outraged, and they mutinied. Although initially the mutiny was spontaneous, it quickly became more organized and the sepoys even took over the cities of Delhi and Kanpur.
This mutiny was harshly crushed by the British. On September 20, 1857, the British recaptured Delhi, and in the following months, the British recaptured Kanpur and withstood a Sepoy siege of Lucknow. The British victories were accompanied by widespread atrocities, and in many cases, unarmed sepoys were bayoneted, sown up in the carcasses of pigs or cows, or fired from cannons.

ES:
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON THE CPCTC PROOF OF CONGRUENT TRIANGLES
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
CPCTC is a short hand acronym for the phrase
'corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent' What does CPCTC mean? It means that once we know that two triangles are congruent, we know that all corresponding sides and angles are congruent!

How to prove triangles are congruent with SSS, SAS, AAS, and other postulates
Remember the meaning of congruent triangles. Two triangles are congruent if all 3 sides and 3 angles of one triangle equal all 3 sides and all 3 angles of the other triangle. CPCTC takes advantage of this fact. The general method is to first prove that 2 triangles are congruent and then use that knowledge to prove that a certain pair of corresponding sides or angles are congruent

Ellen Foster test tomorrow

Geo: HW: #34 p. 212 (textbook) : 19-20, p. 215: 10,11
