Similarity

We will study Similarity - a branch of mathematics dealing with scaling.  (If I get a photograph enlarged, it will be similar, just bigger.  A scale model of a building is similar, just smaller.)  Most of the material will come from chapter 7 with a few pieces from chapter 8.  Due to MCAS, the schedule is laid out explicitly for both sections
