Introduction, due on August 29

Year and major: Senior and Math/MathEd

Upper math courses: All calc classes plus linear algebra, both theory of analysis classes, abstract algebra, ode's, adv. topics in applied math (513R), survey of geometry, history and philosophy of math, complex analysis, and number theory.

Why this class: It sounded interesting and I needed another upper level math class.

Most/least effective teacher: At BYU the most effective teacher I had orchestrated class discussion really, really well. Meaning, there was no such thing as a dumb question and it was ok to make mistakes and slow down in class. So everyone really delved into the subject and we did a lot of math- lots of examples- during class.  The least effective teacher was just the opposite. He never checked for understanding and talked over our heads.

Computer programs: I've used Java, Fortran, C, C++, and Matlab but not really Mathematica, Maple, or SAGE. So I'm not that comfortable but I think I can pick up quickly on SAGE.

Unique Me: I and all my siblings are girls.

Office Hours: I can't make yours but anytime 10 to 12:50 would work, M-F.
