Algebra Summary And Analysis

Decent Essays
I currently hold an Associate of Science in Biomedical Equipment Technology and this format is new to me. I attended a College that focused on one course a month and had to adjust to a course being spread out over several months. Understanding the problems in Algebra taught me that there is always some type of formula to solve an equation. There is not one specific problem that I can reflect on over the other, because they all have their patterns. Sometimes there is more than one way to arrive at the correct answer. Algebra teaches you little short cuts that keep you from doing math the LONG way.
My aha moment was the graph plotting. It brought back memories of my high school math days. An example of my work would be using a graphing

    These are the images from Shutterstock I would like. They are being used in a tri-fold brochure so the res don’t need to be extreme as long as I can edit them without degrading the image. I will mostly just be changing the ratio of images to fit my template. If I could have these by 7-Jul that would be great because I need to get them over to Frank at PERS 532P for printing.

    During nursing school, pediatrics and med-surg were my two of my most favorite classes. Not only was I interested in the material that was being taught, I was able to store that information in my long term memory. Being able to understand the process and connect the dots helped me to do well in both of those classes. I used that knowledge during my pediatric rotations at Cook Children’s and was able to determine why the patients experienced certain symptoms and what methods of treatment they need.…

    Is Algebra Worth the Work? Recently, I came across an editorial in the New York Times debating the reasoning behind requiring higher-level algebra in high school and college. Written by Andrew Hacker, a teacher at City University in New York since 1971, the article suggests that colleges and high schools shouldn’t actually require algebra in their everyday classes. On a personal note, I couldn’t agree more.…

    Algebra For All

    • 115 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The move towards “Algebra for All” is based on the notion that success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) competencies in the 21st century, require fluency in algebraic reasoning and problem solving. Although there is a great need for more students to join the STEM fields, few students pursue these fields in higher education. Scholars have proposed that algebraic thinking should be introduced in the early grades to make the transition to learning complex algebra easier (e.g., Blanton & Kaput, 2011; Cai & Knuth, 2011). Indeed, research has shown that it is possible for students in the earlier grades to engage in functional thinking (Warren, Cooper, & Lamb, 2006), and algebraic reasoning (Bjuland,…

    One challenge I've experienced during my pursuit in engineering and my education as a whole has been AP Calculus AB. Considering I've had high grades in previous maths, I assumed that calculus would not be a problem. However, those previous classes could not have given me a sense of what a college level math class would be like, which I learned very quickly. Calculus has been a surprising taste of what college learning is like. I now know that much of the learning is going to be one's own responsibility.…

    This year at Texas Tech University, I am taking the college algebra course in order to fulfill the pre-requisites needed to complete my pre medicine degree major. My current major is Human Development and Family Studies, but I need this math course for my pre-medicine requirements. My pre-med degree plan requires me to complete this course in order to enroll in my required Physics course later in my college career. Physics is not an easy course to master, there are many different difficult concepts we are required to learn. College algebra has many concepts that aid in the comprehension of the concepts taught in different courses, that is why it is a required pre-requisite for many college courses.…

    When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…

    Since graduating from Weber State University (WSU) with a Bachelors of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (BSEET) in 2010, I have been working as an engineer in many capacities. Recently, I was promoted to a technical leadership position, and have realized that most engineers will face the decision in their careers to stay technical or to pursue a management path. It is because of my desire to delve deeper into the technical aspects of my work that I am applying for admissions to the Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) program at the University of Utah. My first exposure to the field of Electrical Engineering came while serving in the U.S. Air Force. There, I learned basic concepts about circuits and systems, and had the opportunity to work with engineers.…
