Biography

I have been teaching AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC for over 13 years. In addition I have been teaching AP Physics 1 and 2 for the last 5 years. My degree was originally in Engineering from the University of Illinois. Both my parents were teachers and even when in industry I took on the role of advising and training. I have received several teaching awards. The one that I am most proud of it an award that I received my 4th year of teaching. The National Honor Society Seniors awarded me the No Bell Teachers award.
During remote learning, I made video each day for all my classes. I did this so class time could be spent on problem solving. Many of my student said they watched my video multiple times and enjoyed my efficiency to make shorter videos with optional problem solving attachments. They have also suggested I make TikTok videos explaining math but can’t imagine doing that.

Calculus

Suppose that a plate is immersed vertically in a fluid with
density $\rho$ and the width of the plate is $w(x)$ at a depth of
$x$ meters beneath the surface of the fluid. If the top of the
plate is at depth $a$ and the bottom is at depth $b$ , show that the
hydrostatic force on one side of the plate is
$$F=\int_{a}^{b} \rho g x w(x) d x$$
