Introduction, due on January 8

Hi. I'm Dylan Lambert. I'm a girl.

I am a senior here at BYU, and am majoring in Physics Teaching. I have taken Math 113, 313, 314 and 334. I am taking Math 290 because it's the last class for my math minor. I want to have a math minor because if I become a high school teacher, it will be easier to get certified to teach math if I already have the math minor. 

The most effective math professor I've ever had was Dr. Wayne Barrett, who taught my Math 313 Linear Algebra class. He was very personable and explained things very clearly. He worked swiftly, but was certain that we were following him and that we could keep up. When it came to doing the homework, he had office hours in the math lab, which made it easy for us to work together and to get our questions answered. It helped that he had a heart of gold, too.

As for the interesting things about myself, the first was stated in my first line. My parents named me after a male, Irish poet, named Dylan Thomas. It didn't seem to matter to them that I was a girl. I just returned from serving a mission to the New York Utica mission, which is the completely rural part of New York. It was wonderful, but it is good to be back.

I will be able to come to your office hours on Friday, but I have a class Monday and Wednesday at that hour. I would love it if you had office hours on Tuesday, as I do not have class that day.

Thank you very much for reading! I am excited for a fun semester of math!!
