Friday Sept 6 (administrivia)

Hi Dr. Jenkins (plus the internet)

Here's my blog. its for BYU Math 485 homework.

  • What is your year in school and major?
    • I'm a junior, going for a Math degree.
  • Which post-calculus math courses have you taken? (Use names or BYU course numbers.)
    Hmmm...
    • Multivariable Calculus
    • Linear Algebra
    • 290 (Fundamentals of Math)
    • 334 (ODE)
    • 371/2 (Abstract Algebra I/II)
    • 341/2 (Analysis I/II)
    • 352 (Complex Analysis)
    • 451 (Linear Topology)
  • Why are you taking this class? (Be specific.)
    • Hmmm. sounded interesting, counts as a math class. generally want to knwo about the subject material.
  • Do you have experience with Maple, Mathematica, SAGE, or another computer algebra system? Programming experience? How comfortable are you with using one of these programs to complete homework assignments?
    • Hmmm... I used Matlab some time ago, but otherwise have no experience. I've programmed quite a bit, as my summer jobs for the past two years, and just on my own. I think I'll be fine.
  • Tell me about the math professor or teacher you have had who was the most and/or least effective. What did s/he do that worked so well/poorly?
    • Its a little late right now and this is beyond my ability to analyze.
  • Write something interesting or unique about yourself.
    • I once fit 12 grapes in my mouth. This is not that impressive of a feat, but I did count them.
  • If you are unable to come to my scheduled office hours, what times would work for you?
