...Not having these mathematical tools would make engineering work rather crude. Imagine how the drawings of a Corvette would look if the artist were restricted to use only straight lines! Similarly, complex numbers are very useful for describing periodic waveforms, predicting natural resonances in systems, designing control systems and many other things. (read more)
...Currently, my favorite subject to tutor is high school AB Calculus. Physics, and particularly material science, uses various mathematical tools for understanding the world. The basics of geometry are essential to any physicist, using angles and shapes to describe various phenomena. (read more)
...I elaborate here that I passed on my first try with a "7", which is 110%-120% of the minimum passing score. I have been using Microsoft Access since I entered the workforce in the 90's and appreciated it for its compatibility with other Microsoft applications. I am still using it and its Forms, Queries, Reports, and Tables for data work is a routine part of my field. (read more)
...We will do a particular problem several times. This assures that the student understands why we do what we do and not just come to a solution. From there, we will do a more challenging problem which takes elements from the previous one and again, work it out several times. (read more)
