...Chapter 3 Complete coding questions 14, 15, and 16 from chapter 3. Each question should be commented and created as a self-named function (fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen) in a file called chapter3.py. 14. Write a program that finds the average of a series of numbers entered by the user. As in the previous problem, the program will first ask the user how many numbers there are. Note: the average should always be a float, even if the user inputs are all ints. 15. Write a program that approximates the value of π by summing the terms of this series: 4/1 − 4/3 + 4/5 − 4/7 + 4/9 − 4/11 + . . . The program should prompt the user for n, the number of terms to sum, and then output the sum of the first n terms of this series. Have your program subtract the approximation from the value of math.pi to see how accurate it is. 16. A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers where each successive number is the sum of the previous two. The classic Fibonacci sequence begins: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,. . .. Write a program that computes the nth Fibonacci number where n is a value input by the user. For example, if n = 6, then the result is 8. Chapter 4 Please complete the coding questions 4, 10, and 11 at the end of the chapter.

...Preparing for College Physics David Murdock TTU October 11, 2000 2 Preface! To the Instructors: This booklet is free. You may download, copy and distribute it as you wish. . . if you find it to be of any value. It can be gotten from the URL: http://iweb.tntech.edu/murdock/books/PreSci.pdf so you will need the (equally free) Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it and print it. This piece of software is on many institutional computer systems, and if you don’t have it on your machine, go get it at http://w1000.mv.us.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html The pages are in a format which looks best when printed double-sided. I’m giving it away to anyone in the same situation as me: You have many students in your introductory science courses who don’t have adequate preparation in basic mathematics, and you want to give them something simple and friendly to read. Preferably something that gets right to the point and which costs no more than the paper it’s printed on. I didn’t know where I could get a document like this, so I wrote one. You’ll notice that “significant figures” have not been rigidly observed in the numerical examples. That’s because this book is directed at students who need help in getting any correct numbers to round off. If you find this booklet to be useful or else worth exactly what it costs and/or have any suggestions, please write to me at murdock@tntech.edu To the Students: Your college science courses may very well require you to do some mathematics (algebra...
