Introduction, due on September 2

I am a second-year senior and a Mathematics major.

I'm not sure what is meant by "post-Calculus courses", but here are all of the math courses I've taken at BYU after 112 and 113 (listed by NEW course numbers):
Math 290
Math 313
Math 314
Math 334
Math 341
Math 352
Math 371

I'm currently enrolled in:
Math 342
Math 410
Math 485

I'm taking this class for an elective credit. I really think I'll enjoy encryption and decryption. It sparked my interest, so that's why I chose this course for my elective credit.

I have some experience with Maple, but not much.

It will take some practice, but I think I could use Maple to complete some homework assignments. I've also taken a class in Java programming.

The math professor I've had that has been the most effective was Dr. Jeff Humpherys. I'm not sure why he was so effective, other than the fact that he was so interested in helping us learn. He was so concerned that we were learning. He even stopped by the math lab a couple of times, just to see how his students were doing. He cared.

The math professor that I've had that was the least effective was Dr. Fearnley. The method he teaches with was very foreign to me. He teaches using the Moore method. That method was particularly difficult for me when learning about complex analysis.

Something unique about me: I've been married for 2 1/2 years and we're expecting our first baby in March.

I'm unable to come to your scheduled office hours due to another math class I'm enrolled in. Some hours that may work for me are T/TH after 3:30pm or M/W/F after 4pm.
