And, it is always essential to find out where your mastery of concepts stops and build from there to the concept under consideration. My outstanding mastery of math will be used to help you reach a fundamental understanding of the concepts. For example, a per cent is just a number multiplied by a 100 to make it easier to think and talk about numbers that are usually less than 1. I will teach you how to "frame" up a problem so that you will start with the form that the solution(s) will take,

In high school, I was an Explorer Scout, a member of the National Honor Society, and was valedictorian of my graduating class. In college, I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated magna cum laude from Franklin and Marshall College with a degree in Physics and a minor in Chemistry. I have worked as a research scientist during a nearly 46 year career during which I received over 15 patents. I know how math is used to solve real world problems. I can talk about the usefulness of math. I thor
