Sept 4. Introduction

My name is Spencer, and I am currently a senior at BYU studying math.
I have taken Math 290, 313, 314, 341, 371.  And I am currently in 342 as well as 485 and have taken some stats classes as well.
I am taking this class because when I was in Math 371 I took it with a group of friends and we decided that it would be fun to take this together as well.  Having other people in the class I knew and would talk to made it easier to study and to get homework done.  It helped me understand more and I hope to be able to do just as well in this class.
I haven't used any of those programs hardly at all, and have little experience with any other mathematical program.  I have limited programming experience, I have taken a few classes in high school and here at BYU, but can general navigate my way through computer programs.
The most effective math professor that I have had, worked hard to make himself available to me, so that I could get the help that I needed on concepts that I did not understand they also taught in such a way as to allow me to feel like I was going to be able to make it if not excel. He helped me to feel not so overwhelmed even though the material was challenging.
Something unique about me is that I was on a national math team in high school (I wish that I still felt that smart) and am usually confident in my ability to get things done.
I will be attending your office hours as often as I can, luckily they are right when my classes end.
