Hmm. Now at 9:05 it says, "will vary with respect vary with respect to..."

Just snip out one.

Hint: If it were mine, I'd probably snip from the P sound in "respect" to the P in the next instance of "respect." Those are usually firm breaks in the wave form, and make a nice, clean edit. (Either that or the T sounds in both words.)

The other edit and the volume are A-OK.

TriciaG,
You've dealt very graciously with this novice editor. : ) Third time's the charm, right? We can hope. Here are the corrections:

Thank you!

Paul,
The documents have variations on how to read the same equations. My goal is to give a visual of what I see in a way that someone could write it fluidly. I'd be interested in hearing how others approach the equations.

And if anyone would like to look at the equation on page 39 and give suggestions on how to read it, I'd be grateful!

My only issue is that since this is a project run by multiple people, I would suppose we would have to all agree on names for certain kinds of notation. I noticed you provide links to documents for such issues. How closely do we need to follow them?

Hi Paul,
Welcome to this project! I have signed you up for section 9, thank you for claiming

I don't think everyone will read everything exactly the same way. A couple of people found those documents for if anyone needs help figuring out how to read something in particular, but variations are okay as long as they make sense in audio form.

I can check it out tomorrow if nobody else has by then - I'm going to bed now

Thanks!

Interesting way to present the Quotient Rule.

But I teach long division of polynomials in my Grade 12 Advanced functions course: it is done in a way that is a little old-fashioned, and applied to differentials, which I hadn't seen before. On the top row, the dividend is on the left of the backwards "L", and in the middle is the divisor. The result, the quotient, is the expression on the far right of the top row, to the right of the other "L".

So, "v plus dv is divided into u plus du gives the result u over v plus du over v minus u times dv over v-squared", would be my "quick-and-dirty" reading of the question and result.

To read the whole thing is just to read it just like long division of plain old numbers, except you are applying this to expressions. As always in long division, remember that you are sutracting. To make it listenable, I would describe the process as I go.

Wikipedia reference for "plain old long division of numbers" in case you need it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

BTW, I would also like to read some actual text, so I would like to claim Part 10 also.

Thanks Paul!

I've signed you up for Section 10.

Do you have a duration for the recording? I just need that to check that the whole file uploaded properly. Thanks!

Those sections are all yours.

The time is 5:28.

Part 9 is now done (Time 10:17)

Thanks for granting me that. I took a look at the section, and what do you say about "speaking" graphs and tables? There are many graphs such as those on page 142. Do I just state their equations?

Also, what about tables such as the one on page 144 or page 157? Skip them? Just mention what they are?

Section 7: PL OK!

Section 9:

0:38 - A choked, cut off "A" before "Question A"

1:19, 1:21 - Repeated: "Question C" - cut out one of these.

2:05 - loud lip smack

3:41 - text: "1.3709x" I hear "1.3079x"

7:28 - on the rest of the answers, you said "Answer:" first. On this one you didn't.

9:16 - text: "−0.00097" you missed the negative.

One comment: when you have a sum or difference squared in the denominator, you read it something like, "open bracket, x+2, close bracket, all squared". If I were just listening, I'd think that the entire fraction was squared, not just the denominator. I don't think these need fixing so I didn't note the times, but in future, perhaps say "...close bracket, squared"?

Post by **TriciaG** » January 23rd, 2016, 10:25 am

Section 10:

Sample rate incorrect; 48,000 Hz. To fix, go to Tracks/Resample and select 44100. Then change the Project Rate in the bottom left corner to 44100. (I'm not sure if you have to resample, but I know this 2-step process worked for me when I just tested it out.)

Volume a little high. You could amplify by -2 or so, if you like. Or else we'll adjust it at cataloging.

3:17 - text:

Code: Select all

d(dy/dx)
-------
  dx

I hear: "d by dy by dx by dx".
Should it be "d of dy by dx by dx"?

3:31 - loud lip smack

4:15 - text: "d3y/dx3 = f'''(x)" - you say for the f'''(x) part, "which is the third derivative of x". For consistency, should you say instead, "f triple prime of x"?

same at 4:28 for f''''(x)

4:37 - "which is the fifth derivative, which is zero" for consistency and accuracy, perhaps "f five prime of x, equals zero"

And, greetings from Durham Region!
