My Courses
ARTH 1102 History of Art: Renaissance to Modern
Survey of Western Art from 1300 to the Present
2014 spring – MAT 2680 Differential Equations – Reitz
A differential equation is an equation that relates a function to one or more of its derivatives. – The above rather boring description does little to convey just how fundamental, widespread, and amazingly effective differential equations are in describing the world around us. – Examples: Anything in motion. Also, many things that are not in motion. Also, many additional things to which the word “motion” does not really apply. – Further examples: spaceships in orbit, populations growing and shrinking, a cup of coffee slowly cooling, springs bouncing, financial markets rising and falling, electrical current flowing through a circuit, ocean waves, sound waves, light waves, vibrations in musical instruments and airplane wings and suspension bridges, – More examples: Pretty much everything. Topics include methods of solving ordinary differential equations and applications to various problems.

My Projects
A Guide to Social Media Success
The research topic our group has chosen is how to become a famous person on social media. For our research we explored the three main sources of the most popular internet domains: Youtube, Vine and Instagram. In our project we examine their origins of fame including how they got famous, how they acquired endorsements/sponsors, followers and how the finances are distributed. The presentation will include some of the most popular sources on these platforms and discussing their success. We will review what it takes to become successful on each platform.
