a major that i will forever be doing math. There are four major types of math i will be doing in college that will directly affect what i am using math for once i graduate. The four types of math are calculus, algebra, accounting, and economics.

I am also in charge of being the one who analyze’s the data and presents it to a group of people…

by themselves Thrusting Pre-Algebra when the kid is 10 years old or teaching him Algebra in the teenage out of compulsion is not necessary when people homeschool their kids. The child has the freedom to follow his interests and gets ready for higher education as a matter of course. When he decides to plan his future education in his teen age, he understands what he has to pursue in his Math learning or how to prepare for a good college entry. If parents introduce Algebra or any other necessary…

I can recall my recent summer when I challenged myself to do tremendous work. Looking back to my previous summers, the mundane experience encouraged me to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work on my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read books during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was indeed, way too early for me). I was prompted to act because I recently found my ambitions for my…

Mentorship plays such an important role in all of our lives regardless of vocation and interests. Delving into history we see how many of the renowned innovators, actors, politicians, and business leaders were mentored during some stage of their lives. I can recall the names of a few mentor-mentee relationships I became aware of over time - Plato mentored by Socrates - David Letterman mentored by Peter Lassally - Warren Buffet mentored by Benjamin Graham – Steve Jobs mentored by Robert Friedland…

curriculum and law studies that I couldn’t study in High School. This year though, I’m going to focus on an A+ Algebra. I’m going to measure my success by comments from Ms. Wells, scores from a recent test, and my own personal feelings of success. To achieve my goal, I will ask more questions, review the past lessons, and study until I feel I have fully understood the lesson. Passing Algebra will not only better my High School Application but will also have me one year ahead which gives me time…

Education by the Numbers wrote an article about a California study found that kids who passed algebra 1 grade wise but didn't understand the concepts and were required to retake it, did worse on the second time through. "Among the higher performing students (C or better) who repeated, half saw their scores on the algebra state assessment fall by an entire performance level from “proficient” to “basic”." This shows that when information is retaught, it doesn't…

Without being cut from the basketball team it is possible that I would not make the baseball team and if I did I know I would not have given my maximum effort at all times. In Algebra I was noticing within myself that I was not exerting my maximum effort to better my mat ability, I was skipping online homework assignment and thinking nothing of it, now I have realized that if I want to achieve my goals in that class I must give…

On Monday October 12th I had the honor of interviewing my college algebra professor Dr. Layne Heitz. The interview was very interesting and I learned many knew things about Dr. Heitz. Dr. Heitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in mathematics from the University of West Texas and has recently received his doctorate degree. He currently teaches college Algebra, finite math method for teachers, geometry, and sometimes calculus or trigonometry. Dr. Heitz said that he always knew that he…

Stanton.Session1. Journal The thought of going to college has always had many challenges and fears for me. One of my challenges was when I discovered I had dyslexia after almost failing high school and during my algebra class in my first attempt of college. Another challenge has been regaining my confidence after failing much of my schooling along with my first attempt to college. My passion to better serve the Lord and people in the work place or in life itself is what has stirred my desire to…

his photographic, and was able to produce at least one mathematical paper a week on average. He is considered one the greatest mathematician of all time because his studies covered almost every aspect from geometry to calculus to trigonometry to algebra to number theory. He is credit for creating or popularizing many of the modern notions in mathematics- examples e, i, f(x), and the Symbol for pie. The math notions e is known as Euler number it is the base of natural logarithm a constant equal…
