Biography

I am currently a student pursuing a computer science degree at Guilford College. I love mathematics and I have very strong fundamentals in math, as I was in an accelerated Early College program in high school. That allowed me to take precalculus, AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Statistics and I also took dual-enrolled math courses like Multivariable calculus, vector calculus, and differential equations. I scored 5s and 4s on all my AP exams. I have been tutoring throughout my high school years at various schools and establishments such as ESL and newcomers schools, science centers, and robotics camps.

Calculus: Early Transcendentals

An integral equation is an equation that contains an unknown function $ y(x) $ and an integral that involves $ y(x). $ Solve the given integral equation. [Hint: Use an initial condition obtained from the integral equation.]
$ y(x) = 4 + \int^x_0 2t \sqrt {y(t)} dt $

Calculus: Early Transcendentals

The wind-chill index is modeled by the function $$ W = 13.12 + 0.6215T - 11.37v^{0.16} + 0.3965Tv^{0.16} $$ where $ T $ is the temperature (in $ ^\circ C $) and $ v $ is the wind speed (in km/h). The wind speed is measured as 26 km/h, with a possible error of $ \pm 2 $ km/h, and the temperature is measured as $ -11^\circ C $, with a possible error of $ \pm 1^\circ C $. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated value of $ W $ due to the measurement errors in $ T $ and $ v $.

Fundamentals of Differential Equations

A mass weighing 32 lb is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling and comes to rest at its equilibrium position. At time t = 0, an external force$ F(t)=3 \cos 4 t \mathrm{lb} $ is applied to the system. If the spring constant is 5 lb/ft and the damping constant is 2 lb-sec/ft, find the steady state solution for the system.

Fundamentals of Differential Equations

An 8-kg mass is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling and allowed to come to rest. Assume that the spring constant is 40 N/m and the damping constant is 3 N-sec/m. At time t = 0, an external force of $ 2 \sin 2 t \cos 2 t \mathrm{N} $ N is applied to the system. Determine the amplitude and frequency of the steady-state solution.
