An introduction to the mathematics of 3D

We will be moving into chapter 4 which studies matrices - a technique that allows us to handle huge amounts of data. 3D makes a great bridge topic between systems of equations and matrices. Remember, this is only an introduction. You do not have to be an expert! That comes in two years. ;-)

Day 1: Representing 3D with points, equations of planes, graphs.
Day 2: Solving systems of equations in 3D - there are many possible outcomes. (Answer Key)

The homework both days is to finish the handouts.
