Math 203 Writing Assignment 2				Due Monday, October 7th.

You are the director of a new tutoring program for special needs students at  
the local elementary schools, and you need to hire tutors.  Many of your  
students need help in several areas, but should only have one tutor in order  
to form a good learning relationship.  Your tutors will be part-time and work  
at most 10 hours a week.  However, the students in your program have varying  
needs in terms of the number of hours of tutoring they should receive each  
week.  The needs of your students in tutoring hours per week are 8, 5, 3, 4,  
3, 7, 8, 8, 6, 5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 2, 6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 7, 7,  
8, 6, 5, 4, 6, 1, 4, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4.  How many tutors do you need to hire?   
The school board and your grant underwriters will want to know if you are  
being cost-effective, and most likely none of them know much math.  You will  
need to state your real-life problem and then what it is in math terms.  Make  
sure you explain any terminology you use.  They would probably like to see  
you try all the possible solution methods, but would only be interested in an  
explanation of one that gives a best solution.  Make sure you translate your  
solution back into the real-world situation.  They would certainly want to  
know if your solution is optimal, so you should discuss whether it is or not,  
and if not, whether or not it's worth your while to find an optimal  
solution.

Good news!  Your program was such a success, they have asked you to start a  
math tutoring program at the local high schools.  Now the tutors will work at  
most 5 hours a week.  The needs of your students in hours of tutoring each  
week are 5, 4, 2, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2,  
2, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5, 4, 3.  The board is now familiar with your  
problem, so you only need to discuss the optimality of your best solution.

Writing assignment hints:
1) Solve the math problem, but treat your writing like an English paper.
2) Give a rough draft to a nonmath friend who hasn't taken this class  
before.  If they understand it, you have 	probably written a good  
explanation.  They should be able to read it without looking at your  
assignment sheet 	to see what the problem was.
3) While you're writing, pretend there's a 2-year-old who keeps tugging at  
your sleeve and asking, "Why?"
4) Don't procrastinate.  Leave yourself time to ask me questions.
