Introduction to Classmates

05/31 1PMPlease post this introduction to a location which can be accessed by others, so I can introduce myself to my classmates.

Hi my name is Lauren Thumann and I am a Computer Science major in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. I live in Moneta, Virginia (on Smith Mountain Lake), but I will be taking this class while working for Deutsche Bank in Cary, North Carolina. I am taking this class to finish my Bachelors Degree. When I graduate in December, I hope to find employment in web application or automation testing development. Outside of school and work I like to water ski, swim, and cook.

Thanks.

I'm with you on the swimming and the water in general, but I never could get my canoe going fast enough to tow a skiier.

Which brings up an interesting problem.

If I push off the wall of the pool under ideal theoretical conditions, do I ever stop moving, and is there a limit to how far I'll go?

We'll get a handle on the differential equations that model this situation, just before the first test.

When swimming laps, I have lots of time to think about the hydrodynamics of the situation, as well as the physiology. Everything is pretty much a differential equation.
