B.O.B. - Muddiest Point

I had the most trouble trying to find the maximum area given a specific perimeter.  I thought I had it completely under control, because I would occasionally think of these types of situations on my own.  However, when I had to actually do it on paper, it turned out that I had been doing it wrong the whole time.  I had an especially rough time trying to do the cylinder problems.  You know, the ones where we're given the surface area and we have to find the volume.  I'm still not entirely sure how to do those.  But, I am optimistic for this coming unit, because a.) I have a more positive outlook on my school career and life in general and b.) this looks more interesting than the previous unit.
