Algebra II is my favorite class related to the focus of the Science, Mathematics, Computer Science program. I learn many things that may help me in real-life situations and help me understand how computers work. One of the most interesting things I learned about was Linear Programming because we solved real-life problems using it. One problem was about a company selling two types of trail mix. Each type of trail mix used the same two ingredients, but different quantities. There were constraints on the ingredients. We learned to write equations for the constraints, graph them, and find a feasible region. We wrote the profit equation and tested the points of intersection from the feasible region to find which combination had the greatest profit. Matrices were also interesting to me. I found them fascinating because they help me understand how computer programs do complex functions. We learned about row reduction, determinants, and inverses. Study, work, and interaction are very important in math class. …show more content…
When there is a test coming up, I study carefully and thoroughly. I try to study more than once. For a few days before the test, I study everyday. On those days, I don’t study much; I go just over the basic ideas that we learned. On the night before, I study more. Depending on the amount of material, I study for one to two hours. First, I work on practice problems. Then, I read through my all notes and homework on the topic of the test, and make sure I understand the material. Afterwards, I copy my notes and highlight the most important ideas. Then, I make flashcards and test myself. On the day of the test, I study a little in the morning before school, and if the test is after lunch, I study during lunch. I like to be organized and go through all the material. One thing I like about studying is that I see how much I
