...The area of each of those 8 triangles is 1/2*r*s where s is the length of each side of the octagon. So we have an area within the octagon of 8s*1/2*r. This is an approximation of the area of the circle that improves if the polygon (in this case, an octagon) has more sides. In particular, a polygon with many sides will have a perimeter very close... read more

...The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and the velocity is the rate of change of position of the object. So Newton's Second Law is a differential equation for the position of a moving object. I have taught several different courses in Differential Equations including the topics of Ordinary Differential Equations, Systems o f Ordinary... read more

...I made A's in classes such as Classical Dynamics, Classical Electrodynamics, and Kinematic Astronomy, but generally stick to tutoring general physics and general chemistry; that is, high school and first- and second- year college courses. I work out of our home in Cedar Park, using a dedicated room as a one-student classroom. It has a large whiteboard,... read more

I'm passionate about mathematics and the sciences and love teaching them to students. My philosophy about learning difficult subjects is that everyone has the ability to understand them; they just haven't had the opportunity to see it the way they need to in order to understand. I can offer patience and creativity to help students of any grade level... read more

...y name is Lorraine S and I have my BS in Chemistry from the University of Missouri. I was a teaching assistant during my senior year of college and really enjoyed it. I love helping students to understand and, if not enjoy, at least respect chemistry for its importance in life. My favorite thing is that moment when the light clicks on and the student... read more
