1.1-1.6, due on August 29

1. (Difficult) What we have not covered in class yet (1.4-1.6) was the most difficult aspects for me to really grasp. Specifically section 1.4 was a little confusing to me because of the new notation and language used. Most of the chapter was clear but 1.4 was a little gray.
2. (Reflective) I thought it was interesting how much we use sets in our everyday life without even knowing it.   For example, I now have a new set of classes and each class I'm taking is an element of that set. I think this class will give me a new angle to look at math then from just solving different problems and equations. It seems like very basic concepts but it is so in depth that it makes it difficult.

Introduction, due on August 29

• I am a sophomore majoring in Mechanical Engineering, although my major may change
• Math112, currently taking Math113
• I am taking this class because I am thinking about possibly majoring or minoring in Math and I hope it will help me decide. 
• Negative Effect: She assumed that we already understood concepts that were in the curriculum, skipped steps when doing problems, and thought it was a waste of time to finish solving problems in class. She taught whatever was going through her head--not what the students needed.
• I served my LDS mission in Salt Lake South
• Tuesday/Thursday 2-4pm if possible
