Introduction
We will use this Post to introduce ourselves to each other. Please share a bit about yourself. Our intent is to build a community of learners in the class that will help us feel comfortable and hence learn in a meaningful way: Here are a few words about me the teacher: I am 59 years old and have been teaching at IC for 26 years. My wife and I came from Israel 30 years ago. My two girls are 33 and 27 and I have a 2.5 years old grandson. I love nature and my buddy dog Max walks with me every day. Look forward to share the beauty of Math with you.

This is my last semester at Ithaca College which is sad but I'm exiting to be graduating. I'm from a small town an hour south of Albany. I don't really like math and I hope that that will change after I take this class!
Hello -
I'm Amanda. I am a junior writing major and environmental studies minor. Pretty much I just like being outside, photos, music, animals, and words. I guess I can try to like numbers, too, but we'll see how it goes. See you all around!
Hey, I'm Rachel. I'm from Houston Texas (but I try not to let it show). I'm a Freshman here and my major is exploratory. About the only thing I know for sure is that I want to go to Med school and do Drs Without Borders. I love to travel, and I hope that throughout my life I'll get a chance to visit every country.
I'm Zia. I am a senior soon to graduate with a BA in Drama and BS in Cinema and Photography. I am from here. Ithaca. It's not that bad. This semester is strange, because I must stay in Ithaca to complete my senior thesis. I have traveled all over and to not leave during spring break is going to be tough, but worth it.
Hi, I'm Alison. I'm a Sophomore from New Jersey. I'm an exploratory student looking to double major in Art and Art History. I'm a vegetarian who loves to paint, draw, read, hike and climb trees. I love nature, animals and flowers more than most anything else. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and developing a new respect for numbers :)
I'm Leah. I'm a sophomore art history major from Manhattan. My dad is from Morocco and I hope to travel there and all over Africa in the near future. I've had 17 piercings on and off over the past 7 years. I've been a vegetarian for 9 years and have recently tried to make the switch to veganism.
Hi, I'm Keith. I'm from pennsylvania. I play guitar and do some things outside. I love baby animals but hate baby people. I am not a vegetarian. I am finding it difficult to grow a beard. I am a freshmen. I think I just deleted a comment but it's still there. I'm not traditionally a big fan of numbers or math, but might be once I find out what math is/what is math?
Hi, I'm Margaret Streck, but my friends and family call me Molly. I'm from Cooperstown, NY, which is about 2 hours away from Ithaca. I'm a Junior English major and I'll be graduating from IC a semester early, so in December of this year. I love the academic experience I've had so far here, but I am nervous about this course because Math has been a challenging subject for me over the years!
Hey, my name is Nick. My family recently moved to Northampton Massachusetts. I grew up in a nearby town called Longmeadow where I graduated from high school. I love skiing, and the mountains. I look forward to learning about math in a conceptual life-based format. My experiences with the subject throughout my first 12 years of school have been mostly negative. I am ready to change that.
Hello Im Julie Devine. I am from Sudbury Mass. I am in the exploratory program and I have no idea where I plan to take it from there. Im a freshman and Im totally psyched for this class *no sarcasm*. I love animals, people, and im pretty easy going. Im ready to get my brain working math-friendly again I guess you could say?
Hello, I'm A.J. I'm from a town outside of Buffalo, NY. I'm an Applied Psychology major with a concentration in Neuroscience. I enjoy being outside, hiking, cooking and going to see concerts. I look forward to this upcoming semester and having as good a time as possible in a math class.
Hi, I'm Mike Perl. Senior Art major on my final semester at Ithaca College. I'm from Ithaca (even went to elementary school with that Zia gal). I love to draw and take photos and spray up random sh*t. My graffiti is scattered around town and campus, if you look you might find some.
Hi, I'm Steve Jacobson. I'm from a suburb right outside of Chicago and I'm a senior here at Ithaca College. I'm a cinema and photography major and theater minor. I like red gummy bears, bubble wrap and gorge diving in the summer. I think this class is going to be a lot of fun and I'm glad I can partake in the experience.

Hi, I'm Brian Kratz. I'm a senior majoring in Cinema and Photography. I'm from Syracuse, NY. I spent last semester interning in LA and found out I don't like it when its sunny everyday. I like theme parties, wegmans, and 24hr diners. I decided to take this class because I don't own a dictionary.

Hi, I’m Allison D. I’m a freshman at Ithaca College in the Exploratory program. I’m still exploring around trying to decide what to do with myself (in terms of a major). I was never very good at math and my father too spent many hours helping me get through the regents courses. I am from a small town in upstate NY (Greene), about an hour from Ithaca. I like cats and just about any kind of furry little animal.
I am Jordan and I am from Hampden, Maine. It is a small town in right about the middle of the state. I am a writing major and sociology minor.I hope to graduate next year if all goes as planned.I love music especially lil wayne, the strokes, red hot chili peppers, pavement, m.i.a and outkast.
Hi I'm Nethra. I am a Senior Politics major and Writing minor. I come from Sri Lanka. I am drawn to nature and its magic and mystery. When I'm at home, I spend hours by the ocean, eating spicy roti and staring at the sea. In Ithaca, I spend a lot of time reading, writing, listening to indian classical music and cooking. I love both alonness and spending time with a close group of friends.
