- What is your year in school and major?
- Senior, Computer Science
- Which post-calculus math courses have you taken? (Use names or BYU course numbers.)
- Math 313
- Why are you taking this class? (Be specific.)
- I need one more class to get a math minor and this class seemed like it would be most relevant to my field and could be helpful if I went into computer security.
- Do you have experience with Maple, Mathematica, SAGE, or another computer algebra system?
- No, but I have coded with Jave and C++ quite a bit so using code to solve math isn't too bad.
- Programming experience? How comfortable are you with using one of these programs to complete homework assignments?
- I am a senior in computer science so I can code in Java, C++, and C# decently well. I can probably use SAGE well enough for the purposes of the class.
- 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?
- I had Professor Lang for Math 313. I like how he handed out typed notes because it was easier to follow the lecture without having to worry about scribbling everything down as fast as I can. I disliked how he didn't give partial credit on tests. If you had a small mathematical error that you couldn't find, which caused you to get the wrong answer, you immediately lost 75% of the points for that problem even though you knew how to do the problem.
- Write something interesting or unique about yourself.
- I speak the African dialect of Twi.
- If you are unable to come to my scheduled office hours, what times would work for you?
- After 4 pm Monday through Friday are the only times I have available.
