Hello! This is Abbylynn Payne, and I am taking Abstract Algebra, Math 371 at Brigham Young University from Dr. Jenkins this winter semester 2012. This blog is part of an assignment for that class. It will include, for the most part, posts describing each section of our textbook. Here is a brief introduction of myself as Dr. Jenkins has required:
-I am a Senior at BYU and my major is Math Education.
-After calculus I have taken Math 290 and Math 313.
-I am taking this class because it is a requirement for my major, and because I enjoy math. Specifically, algebra was one of my favorite courses in school, so I am excited to expand my learning of algebra by taking abstract algebra.
-Last semester I had two Math professors who I thought were some of the most effective teachers I have ever had. In my opinion, they were most effective because they were both VERY organized, and one of them was VERY good at explaining things. The reason he was particularly effective was because he REALLY simplified what he said and HOW he said it. Some teachers get excited and talk quickly and in a complicated way, but this professor spoke very slowly and clearly. That helped him to be the best math teacher I have every had.
-Something interesting about me is that I was on the BYU Ballroom Dance Team for three years at BYU and now I have been given the wonderful opportunity to teach ballroom at Pleasant Grove Junior High, part time.
-One time that works really well for me to get help with homework is MWF from 1-2pm.
