Hello, welcome to my student page. My goal is to become a game developer and do some exciting creative work.
I would like to take part in redefining of what the gaming is for. I believe
that gaming has tremendous possibilities as a teaching or interactive tool. Wandering through virtual 3D worlds with real physics and meeting characters
simulating a real animal or human behavior
is the fast, intensive, and enjoyable way to learn or experience things that are not otherwise accessible in real life.

MATH2250-1 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra
Instructor: Sarah N. Kitchen
Email: snkitchen@gmail.com
Texts: Differential Equations & Linear Algebra (3rd Ed.), by C.Henry Edwards & David E. Penney. Also
required: U. of Utah Custom Supplement, ISBN: 978-0-558-15083-9.
This is a hybrid course which teaches the allied subjects of linear algebra and
differential equations. These topics underpin the mathematics required for most students in the Colleges of
Science, Engineering, Mines & Earth Science. The material of the course will introduce differential equations,
and how they are used to model problems arising in engineering and science. Linear algebra is introduced as
a tool for analyzing systems of differential equations, as well as standard linear equations. Computer projects
will be assigned to enhance the material.
