Day 17 (1/22/14)

Today was a snow day, so my internship will resume next week!

Day 16 (1/15/14)

Professor Dolbin had told me that he will not be able to return to FDU until Thursday of next week. Hence, I interned again at BCA for today with Mr. Samarakone.

Day 15 (1/8/14)

Because my professor was not present, I interned at BCA for today in Mr. Samarakone's room. I hope that I can return to my mathematical internship soon!

Day 14 (12/18/13)

Fairleigh Dickinson University (Part 1 - Professor Dolbin)

           Again, because Professor Dolbin was not here today, I focused on completing my tasks for Professor Farag.

(Part 2 - Professor Farag)

(12:30 - 2:30)

           We spent all of today finalizing the works that I have completed so far. First I prepared the solution set to the class's final exam. Then, we reviewed all of the documents that I had prepared, including the official solution key to his exams, and we did so with a VERY fine-toothed comb. After all major corrections had been made and the documents were edited, we spent the rest of the time discussing the course in general. Overall, I have learned a lot throughout this internship, and I am very sad that this part of my internship will be over after this week. I am very thankful for Professor Farag's time and effort in mentoring me! From now on, I will be working with Professor Dolbin during all of my internship time!

Day 13 (12/11/13)

Fairleigh Dickinson University (Part 1 - Professor Dolbin)

           Because Professor Dolbin was not here today, I focused on completing my tasks for Professor Farag.

(Part 2 - Professor Farag)

(8:00 - 3:00)

           Now that the classes are finished and students are taking their final exams, I am approaching my culmination date for the mini project that I have been working on with Professor Farag. Today, I spent a lot of time with the professor, carefully reviewing the 60 pages of notes that I had typed for the class, in addition to the 40+ pages of solutions to various assignments and assessments. Thankfully, I had barely made any typos, and so the reviewing process went very smoothly. I am very thankful for this internship, which has allowed me to review my past knowledge in both mathematics and LaTeX, and learn even beyond that. Next week will be the last week I will work with Professor Farag, and I will certainly miss working with him afterwards!

Day 12 (12/4/13)

Unfortunately, I woke up with a terrible flu, and thus was not able to attend my internship. It's a shame that I'v e missed two days in a row!

Day 11 (11/27/13)

For this day, I was not able to go to my internship because I was at a math competition in Beijing, China for the entire week. My team placed 4th internationally, and I was a silver medalist! Woohoo!
