We have our first exam of the semester on Monday. This concludes our unit on Graph Theory. Wednesday, we will start discussing Probability and Statistics. Make sure that you print the notes for this unit. There are a lot of pages in these notes, so you might want to print multiple slides per page. (The link to the notes is available on the right side of the blog or on the right side of the WebWork.) You'll also want to make sure you bring your calculators to class for this unit. We'll kick off the Probability and Stats unit with some discussions of methods of counting this week. Consider the question below.
Look at the menu of your favorite pizza shop. How many different types of crusts, sauces, and toppings are there? How many different three topping pizzas could you make if a pizza consists of a crust, sauce, and three toppings? What about four topping pizzas?
These are the kinds of questions we will be able to answer after Friday.
Challenge Problem (Due WEDNESDAY, February 15): Print the menu from your favorite pizza shop. How many different types of crusts, sauces, and toppings are there? How many different three topping pizzas could you make if a pizza consists of one crust, one sauce, and three toppings? What about four topping pizzas? Include the pizza menu with your answer.
For the problems with the license plates will we use the slot diagrams with handing special conditions?

Yes, you want to use the slot diagrams for these problems, and your "special conditions" will be determined by what can go in each slot.
