17/9/2015 - Maths

Aim: To understand the fundamentals of scripting languages

Objectives:
All: list some of JavaScript constructs

Most: briefly explain some of the JavaScript constructs e.g. loops, making decisions, properties and methods.
Most: be able to work out practical examples involving JavaScript constructs with some help

Some: describe in detail some of the JavaScript constructs
Some: be able to work out practical examples involving JavaScript constructs without help

Today I have learnt more about JavaScript and I am getting more confident with it. We had some more activities today and they helped me to improve as I could write it and then check if it is the same as the answer. I understand functions more now and I can use them in programming. 

To improve, I would like to try out the different types of loops and a little bit more with functions. I found making the alert box and the prompt box quite useful as this could help me later in the assignment. I want to look at more code examples so I can do different things within the code. 

Overall today has been very interesting and I am starting to enjoy JavaScript more and I am now understanding it. I still need to improve on methods and loops however I am more confident than yesterday. 

Please find below the objectives for today's lesson.

  • Recognise features of a matrix
  • Construct a matrix  
  • Construct a matrix from given equations
  • Understand the link between matrices and computer programming variable arrays.
  • Be able to draw a matrix
  • Preform basic addition and subtraction of matrices

We started the new unit that is Mathematics for IT practitioners. We learnt about adding,subtracting and multiplying matrices. I never knew what matrices were but today I learnt what they are and how to do maths with them. In the end it was quite simple and I feel quite confident about multiplying them and subtracting them. I would like to improve on multiplying them as we did not have too much time on it.
