MATH2063 Summary
This Honor’s Experience consisted of a one semester course covering calculus using more than one variable. In this class, I participated in weekly homework assignments, practice problems, quizzes, and exams over the material. I learned about many topics including vectors, multiple integrals, and vector fields. We also discussed many real world uses for this material, including how level curves are used to create topographic maps and how vector fields can be used to represent magnetic fields. This class helped me to see how I can continue to use these concepts in the future. This honors class also allowed me to further my love of math by challenging me and enabling me to understand the topics deeper than a traditional class. I was somewhat nervous about taking this course at the beginning of the year because it was my first semester in college and this was a second year honors class, but I loved the challenge. In the future I hope to continue to challenge myself and learn as much as I can. Without challenges, we do not grow and learn the value of hard work. I think we should always challenge ourselves and not be afraid to fail; when we stretch our minds, we learn the most and are able to use our talents to their full potential.
Sample Work
This is a sample of the work that I have done in my first honors seminar, Honors Multivariable Calculus. This specific piece of work is one of the honors homeworks assigned by that Professor Borovyk. The questions in this assignment tie all of the calculus that we have learned in the past together so that we can better understand the material. These questions are more challenging than the normal homework assignments and force us to use all of our previous knowledge. This exemplifies my learning for this experience because I had to use all of my knowledge about calculus in order to solve the problems, which allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the material.
