Getting To Know You

  1. Sophie Brun
  2. Soph or Sophie is fine
  3. 63 inches
  4. 19

  6. I love snickers
  7. Chips and a sandwich
  8. I really like One Republic, Drake, Ke$ha, Katy Perry
  9. I like to play sports such as field hockey and lacrosse, go shopping, and eat a lot of food
  10. Mathematical background: Basic math, algebra1, algebra2, statistics, probability, trigonometry
  11. Mathematical strengths and weaknesses:
    1. Equations V
    2. Factoring C
    3. Adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing fractions/rational expressions V
    4. Simplifying expressions V
    5. Operations on roots and fractional exponent expressions V
    6. Operations involving whole number exponent expressions  C
    7. Finding common denominators  V
    8. Inequalities C
    9. Functions C
    10. Absolute value C
    11. Linear functions C
    12. Systems of equations C
    13. Domain and range U
    14. Inverse functions C
    15. Transformations (shifting, scaling, stretching, etc) U
    16. Quadratic functions C
    17. Completing the square U
    18. Exponential functions C
    19. Logarithmic functions U
    20. Base e U
    21. Graphing  V
    22. Trigonometric concepts U
  12. I feel like I will really excel in the concepts that were covered in finite math also such as simplifying expresisons, equations, and factoring.  Some of the concepts covered sch as linear functions, functions, roots and rational expressions are concepts that I am most comfortable with because they are basically practiced in math all the time along with adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing fraction, and rational expressions.
  13. Social media formats I am familiar with: facebook, twitter, flickr,
  14. Social media used most frequently: facebook, twitter
  15. Major: Undecided in Kogod School of Business
  16. Why am I taking this class: For my major
  17. After this, I plan on taking applied calculus
  18. I hope to learn concepts that I haven’t learned yet in the previous math classes that I have taken at AU

    hi, vicky. thanks for responding! we will definitely have to get you up to speed with factoring, so i hope that you take advantage of the algebra support program that i offer this semester. you are in the right city for enjoying lots of great international food! if you get a chance before you leave the district, try an ethiopian restaurant called duken in the u street corridor. looking forward to meeting you.
