Curated OER
Course of Antibiotics
This model of the amount of anibiotics in a person's system is represented abstractly by a finite geometric series. Learners translate this real-life situation into algebraic form and then extend their knowlege by answering questions...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Sequences
Find the sequence of an equation with your math super stars. They differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences and then calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.
Curated OER
Disease and Epidemics
Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...
Curated OER
Take Your Medicine 2
Real-world application of the finite geometric series. Sick? Need to take Ampicillin? How much is in the body at any given point in time as this medication is taken over the course of time. Use the formulas, make calculation, and graph...
Texas A&M University
Wtamu Virtual Math Lab: College Algebra: Geometric Sequences and Series
Learn what a geometric sequence is and how to perform several related tasks: find the nth term, write the formula for the nth term, and calculate a finite geometric series. This tutorial offers definitions, example problems with...
