Hello! My name is John Anthony but I go by JT. My pronouns are he/him/his, my major is Mechanical Engineering and I became interested in my major by influence from my friends and some classes that I took in high school. I will take MAT 1475 after MAT 1375. I hope to get a full time job and earn money so I can begin my life and help my parents pay for expenses, my interests and hobbies are: video games, playing basketball and volleyball, working on cars and going out with friends. I am good at math and science. I am proud of my work ethic. I overcame something difficult when I was younger and I had trouble reading. My favorite book is The Great Gatsby and my favorite animal is a Giraffe.

Hi, my name is Joseph and I am a Computer Systems major. Honestly, I had never really gotten interested in my major but thinking ahead it is definitely the future.  Hopefully before I graduate I will get into an internship that will open doors for me once I get my degree. Usually (depending on time of day) when I do have free time, I longboard with friends , practice photography, and play video games.  Something I am proud of is completing a 30 day kayaking/ backpacking trip in Alaska. I am hoping for a good semester.

Hello everyone my name is Judah Bowers and I am a third year student of City Tech. I am currently in the major of Computer Systems Technology. I became interested in this major because I was curious about how a software works on the inside which involves coding and I wanted to pursue in the programming field. I have technically graduated with my Associates Degree for Computer Information Systems but I’m willing to do another two years for my Bachelors Degree in Computer Systems Technology. I hope to do an internship or a job related to my major after I graduate. I play video games and watch anime on my free time.

Hello everyone, my name is Diamond Williams. this is my second semester of college at city tech and my major is computer systems technology. My reason for deciding cst as my major is because I was always interested in computers and the programs that run on them. My hobbies are reading, writing, hanging out with friends, and playing video games. I hope to achieve a high grade in this class and use these math skills in the future of my career

Hey class! My name is Noelia, although I would prefer to be called Noelle (Noel) and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My major is accounting, and the reason I  chose to stick with that major is because I enjoyed math. I kind of always got the hang of it and I appreciate the fact that there is always a right or wrong answer. Besides school, I work full time and I have hobbies which include singing, dancing, playing the piano, going out with friends, trying new foods, etc. I have two different goals, but one would be to be a performer. Doing things I love and that I’m passionate about or.. I can excel in what I am currently learning, which is accounting, and Develop a career in that field. Nice to meet you all and I look forward to having a great semester!

Hi! My major is in computer engineering because ever since I was a kid, there’s this feeling of excitement that comes to me when looking at bare electronic parts. I also love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with building putting PC components together or fixing other things, which is why I like having relatives ask me if they have any trouble concerning electronics. If I’m not wrong (correct me if I am) my major requires me to take MAT1575 and MAT2680. Other interests I guess would definitely be anime, I love to watch anime; also games, though I am not much of a shooters type of person, I prefer story driven games like Persona 5. When it comes to books, I can’t really say I am a book person but I find the Monogatari series of novels really interesting based on the ones I have read so far since not every book is translated to english yet.

Hey my fellow classmates. My major is biomedical informatics. My interests are running (competitively and recreationally), art, and fashion. I enjoy learning new things and overcoming challenges so  I look forward to working hard alongside all of you and passing  this course with an A! …

(I’ll take a B to though)

Hello! I look forward working with everyone this semester. I have a few hobbies that I enjoy like chess, boxing and martial arts. I am pretty good at cooking since I was doing it when I was little. One thing that I overcame was not failing my English class in 8th grade. My favorite animal is a bear because I love how it sleeps a lot. my favorite books is the Sherlock Holmes series.

Hi everyone! My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I’m originally from Toronto, Canada and even though I have a French last name and studied a ton of French in school, I can barely speak a word of it! I majored in math and minored in visual art at the University of Toronto as an undergraduate. The math thing was kind of unexpected; I always thought I would become an artist and actually discovered that I liked math while I was attending an arts high school. The part of math that first captured my interest was graphs of quadratic functions (one of the topics we’ll study this semester)…I couldn’t believe that math had so much drawing! I was hooked. After undergrad, I moved to New York and completed my Ph.D. in math at the CUNY Graduate Center. Then I taught math at the University of California, Berkeley for three years and I’ve missed the beautiful weather there ever since I moved back to New York! I’ve been a professor at CityTech since 2013. In addition to teaching, I do research in pure math in a field called topology; topology is very visual and I spend a lot of time drawing pictures for my work.

I have several interests outside of work but these days I’m pretty obsessed with running and with my cats. I also read a lot (probably too much) so I have many favorite books. Two of my recent favorite novels are My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite and Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee. I’m also a fan of nature documentaries; the animal world is so strange and intense!

I like teaching Precalculus because it’s the kind of course that takes students from more elementary topics to more advanced topics and because it’s the first time students get to see the relationship among different topics they’ve studied before. It also has a lot of graphing, which is one of my favorite things about math. I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you this semester!
