We covered Section 1.2 and most of Section 1.3 in class today. I will only ask you to read Greek and Chinese numbers with the help of the chart, I will not expect you to take a Hindu-Arabic number and translate it into either system (no artwork needed!!). I WILL expect you to be able to convert back-and-forth into Babylonian and Mayan.

You will need a NONGRAPHING calculator for homework, tests and the final. I just bought a TI 30X IIS at Walmart for about $14
