Candid Student Reports

The following (emails) were written by members of the Math Explorations, Session C during the first day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

I felt that it was helpful and 
I learned a lot. I thought it was
helpful that we were able to apply 
formulas problems usally tested by 
simple trial and error. It was 
interesting to find out that how 
things that seemed so easy were 
actually impossible. It was also 
a fun way to approach graph theory
and learn a lot about that subject. 
It was a well taught class. 
I felt it was a good class.

Today we learned how to use Excel 
to put different information into an
ozganized way so that we could use 
it to figure out the problems that 
we had.  It was very fun, so fun I 
would donate money to do it again!

-Dominique

In today class we learned alot 
about patterns in math. We learned
about Euler's circuits and paths. 
The instructors forgot their alphabet. 
It was alot of fun!

-Jabeen

I thought this afternoon was 
boring because I learned 
nothing, but got with my typing 
skills.

-Antonio

This is  a very good program. 
The teachers thought me things 
in math that I thought were 
completly impossible. I 
ecspecially liked the close
enviroment [exept it was a 
little HHHOOOTTT!

I REALLY HAD FUN DOING PATTERNS 
AND PROBLEMS. I LEARNED,THAT IF A
OBJECT HAS 3 OR MORE ODD POINTS 
YOU CAN NOT DRAW IT WITHOUT 
PICKING UP YOUR PENCIL.

-Tiara

We learned about patterns 
and making equations into graphs.  
We also learned that it is impossible 
to have a map that needs more than 4 colors to
make no colors touch.  I had fun and learned too.

-Lilah

I had a good time with math. 
All the other thing. the kid 
were nice,
and we had a lot of fun.

-Timothy

I had a good time today learning 
new thing about math. I liked doing
different math patterns on the 
internet today.
