Joyce's Reflection

1)Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?

We chose the questions that we each seperately had strengths in understanding and solving. However, it was kind of hard yet entertaining at the same time trying to fit it all into a storyline.

2)How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?

Our questions consisted of related rates, integration by parts, Newton's law of cooling, solids of revolution, and optimization. These were some of the hardest concepts to learn out of this whole course but we chose to do them. Out of all the types of things we could've done we used these kinds of questions. That to me shows that we found them easy to do.

3)Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you?

Of course it was educationally valuable to me. It provided me with another form of review for the AP Calculus exam. Questions like our version of the amusement park one were especially helpful for the exam since those types of questions repeatedly make an appearance in the exam every year. Having to conceptually think of the questions also helped to understand the different types of questions on a whole new level. Being able to explain the solutions and putting into words how you get the answer was quite difficult. That being said, I feel like the whole process of finding a great way to present your project is what I don't like about these types of projects.

All in all, I found this DEV a valuable experience. I aged by like 10 years from doing it but anything for math. But yeah the stress I'd get in university compared to this is probably x10 so it's a good taste of whats to come in the future. I just want to say IT'S FINALLY OVER. 10 more mins till midnight ding ding ding.
