Math 217: Introduction to Calculus and Linear Algebra in Math

Math 217: Introduction to Calculus and Linear Algebra in MathCalculus and Linear Algebra in math is the study of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, complex numbers, and differentiation. These subjects are important if you want to enter the workforce as a math teacher or any other jobs requiring an understanding of these subjects. Math 217 provides such knowledge. This program has both subject areas as well as a framework of classes that will help you learn the subject matter well.The first half of the class involves pre-calculus and includes skills required to calculate derivatives and integrals. You will learn both the different units and their methods of conversion to the different types of units. Once you understand these methods, you will be able to calculate solutions for all types of problems involving derivatives. You will also learn the use of the concept of continuity to identify the same derivative that was used previously.The second half of the cla ss consists of a series of practice problems, some of which are based on actual courses taught at UW. You will take on the role of a student to help an instructor to solve problems presented in a problem solving stage. Some of the problems can require a wide range of functions, while others can require you to know simple facts about the operation of a function.Math 217 combines both courses to give you a full course of instruction for your UW degree. The curriculum includes lecture, labs, and a final exam. The lecture part of the class is usually done in weekly or biweekly sessions. Each lecture is delivered by one of the instructors and involves a full lecture followed by a summary of that lecture and a multiple choice question.You will also take advantage of the interactive lab demonstrations from UMBC. These are made up of both hands-on and online exercises. The online lab exercises allow you to practice your application of calculus and linear algebra skills.The final exam is typ ically given once a month. The exam will provide a proof of what you have learned from the class and will give you an opportunity to examine your knowledge against what is given in the course. If you feel you do not fully understand the material presented, there are several resources available online. This allows you to review your material again without having to attend class each day.All in all, math 217 provides both a foundation in mathematical concepts and skill set for students seeking a career in math. If you are considering applying to a number of math teaching jobs or starting a career in math, math 217 can help you prepare for this position. This program is also ideal for those who are looking to transfer from a college or university course into a college course. With the high demand for math teachers and all of the steps involved in being a math teacher, you will need a good base of skill and knowledge.

The ultimate packing checklist for teaching abroad

The ultimate packing checklist for teaching abroad Teaching abroad is an exciting experience: beautiful destinations to explore, interesting people to meet and a brand-new community to become a part of! But getting ready to move abroad and packing everything you need to live in a different country in one suitcase can be a stressful and daunting process. Whether you’re teaching English abroad in a far-off destination, teaching in China or teaching in the Middle East, there are some essentials that you’ll need to help make your transition overseas as stress-free as possible. The end goal should be to bring as little with you as possible since additional or overweight bags can be quite expensive to fly with. While some of the items that you’ll need will be available in your new country, others may be difficult to find, or much more expensive to purchase overseas. It’s normal to have a ton of questions on what you should pack to bring with you on your first adventure teaching abroad. Luckily, at Teach Away, many of us have been in your shoes before. Here’s what we advise to make room for in your suitcase before boarding that plane: Comfort food from home Everyone has their favorite comfort food that they’ve been eating since childhood. Chances are that when you're teaching abroad it will be difficult to get this stuff at your local grocery store. So stock up on non-perishable comforts before you go and make some extra room for them in your suitcase. For those days when you’re yearning for some home comforts, your favorite foods may be the perfect antidote to that dreaded homesickness we all occasionally feel when teaching abroad! Universal plug adaptors Types of plugs vary around the world. It’s a good idea to do some research before you leave on the types of outlets most commonly used in the country you’ll be teaching in. That being said, you’ll (hopefully) be traveling as well while teaching and living abroad, so it’s a good idea to buy a universal plug adaptor so you can charge your electronic devices, no matter where you are in the world! Toiletries Although products like shampoo and toothpaste will be relatively easy to find abroad, some other essentials may not be as common. Stockpile toiletries like deodorant, moisturizer or hair gel/spray, especially if you prefer to use a specific brand. The brands you’re used to buying at home may simply not be accessible in your new teaching location. Medication Before you go, make up an emergency medical kit with the most necessary medicine you might need, such as cold, allergy, headache or stomach pills. If you take any prescribed medications, be sure to pack at least a three-month supply. Check with your doctor on how you to obtain refills in your new country before you go and write down the generic name for medications to make refilling prescriptions easier. Language barriers may prove tricky if you need to get a prescription from a pharmacy. And don’t forget that over-the-counter medication, like Advil or Tylenol, may be hard to find in a foreign language or may even go by another name. Sidenote: Anything critical should be always placed in your carry-on luggage. Don’t put your family photos, laptop, or personal documents in your checked suitcase. A good rule to live by when moving abroad - if you want to see it again, carry it on! Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Comfortable shoes (that fit!) OK, we all know that you can buy shoes pretty much anywhere in the world, but it’s important to consider if it’s likely that you can buy what you need while living overseas! When teaching in Asia especially, it can be hard to find larger shoe sizes for both men and women. Pack comfortable, durable shoes that work for a variety of activities. Athletic shoes, as well as a more formal pair that will work for in the classroom, will cover your basic needs. Unlocked phone Make sure you have an unlocked phone - that is, a device that isn’t locked into one specific service provider in your home country (your friends and family will probably want to talk to you on the phone at some point during your adventure abroad!)If your phone is unlocked, all you have to is buy a SIM card once you arrive and swap out your old one from back home. If you don’t have an unlocked phone, you can always purchase a new unlocked one once you arrive - either option works. It’s also worth setting your friends and family up with apps like Skype, WhatsApp, or FaceTime before you go so that you can avoid incurring any long-distance charges! And take a look at our blog for more ideas to help you keep in touch with loved ones back home while teaching abroad. Deciding to move abroad for a year (or even longer) is no easy task. We hope this list gave you a headstart when deciding what to pack for the big move. To help you through the process of moving abroad, we’ve also put together a helpful pre-departure checklist, covering all the things you need to think about and organize when you’re preparing to teach abroad for the first time! What additional items would you bring with you when teaching abroad for the first time? If you’ve taught abroad in the past, let us know your packing essentials in the comments below!

5 Tips From a San Diego College Tutor

5 Tips From a San Diego College Tutor San Diego College Tutor Tips: 5 Things to Tell Your Kid Before They Start College Many kids are getting excited to find which colleges theyve been accepted to and make their final decision. Then they have a few months before they move away and start an entirely new chapter of their life. The first semester of college is a major adjustment, but kids who know what to expect have an easier time than those who enter the situation without planning ahead. Although each student’s situation will differ depending on what type of college theyre attending and what theyre planning to study, some universal tips and tricks can help make the transition easier Its never too early or too late for San Diego college tutoring. 1.   Time management One of the most crucial things for college students to know about before moving into the dorms is how to manage their time. This is the first time in their lives that students don’t have household rules and don’t have a teacher guiding different aspects of an assignment. College professors will give students a due date and a list of assignment requirements and expect students to figure out how long it will take them to complete it. Two students doing the same assignment might need a totally different amount of time-based on their interest in the subject and their previous knowledge of it. Students also need to figure out how long it takes them to do chores, plan social activities, and even maintain a part-time job. Its important for students to think about this ahead of time so theyre not completely caught off guard in the fall. 2. Becoming a well-rounded individual One of the benefits of a four-year college is that it allows a student to become a well-rounded individual by taking a lot of different courses both in and outside of their major. However, one of the best ways students can become well-rounded is to learn how to balance their time. Students need to be able to focus on assignments and make attending class a priority, but they also need to have enough downtime so that their brain can rest and they can enjoy the overall university experience. This will take some experimentation on the student’s part so the earlier they start working on this skill, the better. 3. Signing up for the right classes It can be confusing enough for students to figure out which classes they need to take their freshman year, so theyre on the right track but students also have to think about the difficulty level of the classes. There are so many things students have to adjust to, so its not a good idea to take four really difficult classes straight away. Students should think about the classes theyre signing up for and talk to an academic counselor before making a final decision. 4. Adjusting to life away from home Another thing to keep in mind is what life will look like when students are away from home. There are a lot of chores and other tedious aspects of life that students may not yet be familiar with. Additionally, students will be living with dozens of other people their age, all of whom can provide distractions from studying. Its essential for students to think about where they will be able to find a quiet study space, how they will be able to maintain a healthy, and how they will be able to advance their social life with academic commitments (READ: 5 Signs You Need a Math Tutor in College). 5. Earning money and financial planning Another aspect of life students encounter for the first time is how to deal with money. Some students will be on a scholarship while others will have taken out a student loan. Financial planning makes all the difference between an excellent experience or one that becomes stressful and overwhelming. Students should think about how much money they need to earn and how much theyll have to spend before they start college so they can live within their budget and avoid unnecessary debt.

Healthy Snacks to Serve at Your Superbowl Party

Healthy Snacks to Serve at Your Superbowl Party Photo Via: Pixabay.com 1. Veggie Pizza While it’s certainly no substitute for that cheesy goodness that is regular pizza, veggie pizza is a great snack for your guests and is relatively good for you. You can use whatever type of dough you want (whole wheat for the best results) and use a low-fat cream cheese as the base. From here, add your favorite veggies and then top with some low-fat cheese to complete. This is a quick, simple and healthy alternative pizza for your Superbowl party. 2. Hummus/Guacamole Normally, this is the time to break out this chips and dip, but when you’re considering healthier options, it’s probably best to put away that French onion nonsense. Instead, make a homemade dip, such as hummus or guacamole, and pick the ingredients you’re putting in so that you can make it healthily. This is also a good time to put together some salsa and other healthier versions of dips and you can substitute the normal chips with veggies as well for the added health bonus. No matter what, your dips will be a hit and a great draw to your snack table throughout the game. 3. Veggie Buffalo Meatballs Some of us really live for the spice, and when you’re eating healthy, it’s difficult to insert that into your snacking. However, with this healthy alternative to wings, you can have the heat and enjoy it, too! You would make these like any other veggie meatballs, simply adding the buffalo sauce you like to use when it comes to your wings. Again, you can choose exactly how healthy you want to go here, but you have a lot of room for experimenting. Additionally, there are people that use cauliflower in place of veggie burgers for that extra ounce of healthiness, but it’s completely up to you. 4. Chicken Chili With my family, chili has always been a Superbowl staple. So when you’re looking at healthy Superbowl snacks, this gets thrown out rather quickly. However, there are healthier versions of chili that you can use and, in this case, that simply means substituting that fatty, ground beef with a leaner meat such as chicken. Of course, you can play with this recipe however you want, but the best way to keep that flavor is to use more kidney beans and additional veggies and simply replace the fattier meats. You can also skip the sour cream and cheese as toppings for additional health benefits. 5. Sweet Potato Chips/Fries Sure, regular fries aren’t exactly “healthy.” But removing them from a Superbowl party altogether? Unheard of. Instead, replace your normal fries with a healthier alternative: sweet potatoes. They’re just as good and add that little bit of sweetness your appetizers may be missing. You can make wedges, regular fries or chips, depending on what your snack table needs. The best part about these is that they are quick and easy and don’t require too much of your time, so you can spend your Sunday watching the game rather than stressing out in the kitchen. 6. Fruit/Veggie Platter Last, but definitely not least, your healthy, Superbowl snack table needs a veggie tray. This is easily the healthiest option you’re going to have for your guests, and it takes you almost no time to put together. You can always pick up a tray from the store, or create your own with vegetables that you and your friends like. For added snacks, put together a fruit salad for your guests (again, store bought or put together on your own) and this will satisfy the sweet tooth without breaking anyone’s diets or New Year’s resolutions (if they were able to maintain them this long). With these six healthy snacks, your Superbowl party is going to be an absolute hit with all in attendance, and for all the right reasons! So don’t stress out about your planning, simply gather the ingredients, throw together these healthy snacks and sit back and relax, because you have plenty of commercials and football to watch, and especially that Superbowl halftime show! This year, the football champions aren’t going to be the only winners. Have a great time!

What Does General Chemistry Entail?

What Does General Chemistry Entail?The world of chemistry has its own famous scientist called the chemist, who does not only study the atoms of an element, but also the chemical reactions that take place between the elements. To be more precise, there are three major divisions in the study of chemistry: atomic or molecular chemistry, which is the study of atoms and molecules, which is the study of what goes on in the interiors of the atoms and molecules; the chemistry of the solids, including the physics of solids, which deals with the interactions that take place between the solid and the molecules; and the chemistry of liquids, which deals with the interactions between the two types of materials.Chemists consider it one of the most important branches of chemistry, as their techniques were basically the same for all other branches of science: experimentation and observation. They collected and studied substances that they found out from nature - all the different elements. In many c ases, they succeeded in creating compounds which had properties similar to those of the elements.Another branch of chemistry is molecular chemistry, where the scientists study the molecular structure of the elements and other molecules. This branch of chemistry was basically a continuation of the original chemistry, where they studied the properties of the elements through the observation of the elements' chemical bonding. This is the branch of chemistry that deals with the properties of the elements together with the properties of the bonds between these elements. It provides an important tool for the understanding of various chemical reactions and enables the scientist to see how all these elements react when they come in contact with each other.Chemistry also deals with the thermodynamics of the elements. This branch of chemistry is basically the study of chemical processes that take place under an external environment, and sometimes in an internal environment. It is important fo r the physicists to understand this branch of chemistry, as they use it to predict what will happen under the presence of different elements. General chemistry is essentially a branch of physics, in which this branch of physics explains the bonds between all elements and is responsible for the predictions of the reactions that take place.The last major branch of chemistry is the mathematics of chemistry. The mathematicians have been using mathematics to study chemical reactions since the earliest times. There are several mathematical models of chemical reactions that are used to analyze chemical reactions and understand how the different elements and molecules are attracted to each other and repel each other. As it has been known since the time of the ancient Greeks, an electron is like a point, and an atom is a kind of point that can absorb a number of electrons and then release them in another direction.In addition to chemistry, there are other branches of mathematics such as calc ulus, which deal with the relationships among numbers and geometry, and Algebra, which deal with the relationships among all these different branches of mathematics. The idea of science does not really mean that everything has to be scientifically proven. It is important to know the scientific world view, as this can make a difference between a good scientist and a bad scientist. One must always be careful when dealing with information that may prove inaccurate and might damage the reputation of an individual or an organization.The basic divisions of chemistry are the chemical bonds and the chemical elements. It has been widely used for many years in the study of the elements and its chemical bonds, which could be used in the study of the behavior of the elements in different types of materials, and so on.
