Math Modeling

This advanced mathematics course taught by Mrs. Burns emphasizes open-ended problem-solving, computer simulations, and teamwork, applying algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics to model real-world situations. As opposed to most standard math classes, presentations, and participation are a major part of everyone’s grades.

Epsilon School

For this assignment, we were divided into groups and tasked with planning the expansion of a hypothetical school, taking into account its historical class sizes, demographics, and teacher count. We then determined the optimal distribution of new teachers and presented our findings to the class. Here is our presentation

Birthday POW

Many people think that the day you were born may reflect your personality. For this project, in groups, we developed a method to determine the day of the week a person was born, based on their birth date. Additionally, we were encouraged to make our own extensions, so our group created a computer program to do this algorithm instantaneously.
