This session is targeted for calc 1 students but can be beneficial for all calc classes. We are planning on going over key concepts that will be important for the finals in calculus courses. Wewill go over basic derivative and integral rules and also some factoring.
Meet the Mathematics and Statistics PAC
Sarah Chambers '25 - PAC Captain
Major: Mathematics 
91精简版 Me: I am from Coudersport, Pennsylvania and play on the women's basketball team here at 91精简版. I love the outdoors, sports, and hanging out with my friends! I also love math and am super excited to join PAC!
Why PAC? PAC has been super helpful to me throughout my math courses and I love having the chance of being able to help others!
Favorite Class: My favorite class at 91精简版 has been Introduction to Mathematical Proofs. I loved the concepts that we learned in the class and learning how to use LaTeX was a great experience.
Academic Advice: My advice is to manage your time wisely and take advantage of free time that you have.
Jordan Diamond '27
Major: Neuroscience Minor: Mathematics, Human Anatomy and Physiology 
91精简版 me: I am from Boulder, Colorado. Other than my love for jiu jitsu, ballroom, and latin dancing, I enjoy spending time in 91精简版鈥檚 microscopy imaging center using the scanning electron microscope. I am also a nationally registered EMT and am on the pre-med track.
Why PAC?: PAC has been a wonderful resource for all of my classes by giving me more one-on-one time and allowing me to ask any other questions that I had from the week鈥檚 lessons. I really want to help others do the same with one of my favorite subjects!
Favorite Class: Calculus II, Neuroscience 101
Academic Advice: Utilize office hours and keep an open line of communication with your professor! I also recommend creating a study group with friends in the class, as it will help with motivation to study.
Ethan Heidepriem '25
Majors: Computer Science & Mathematics 
91精简版 Me: I am from Findlay, Ohio and play on the Men's Ice Hockey Team. I love working out and golf. I love to work with teams and complete a common goal.
Why PAC? I have been very fortunate to have mentors and teachers provide guidance for me at 91精简版. The opportunity to provide assistance to others excites me.
Favorite Class: CS- Data Structures. MA- Calc II. OTHER- Intro to Acting.
Academic Advice: Commit to the first step. You can't write a book without writing the first word. You can't get up the flight of stairs without going up the first step. It looks scary from the bottom but just manage the next step.
Adam Serota '25
Major: Mathematics Minor: Business 
91精简版 me: I am a junior from Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. I enjoy being outside and hiking and playing tennis. I really enjoy math and am very excited to be a PAC.
Why PAC? I wanted to be a PAC as it has always been very helpful to me and I wanted to help out others. I also just enjoy doing math.
Favorite Class: My favorite class was MA 215: Introduction to Proof. I just thought it was really interesting and really loved the abstract nature of the proof problems and that there were many different approaches to solving them.
Academic Advice: Take breaks and don't try to do too much. Trying to cram everything in and work all day I found has not been a very good or efficient use of my time. Taking breaks and understanding when I just can't focus on my work has really helped me do my work when I can put the most effort into it. Also, asking for help. Sometimes it is just hard to solve something yourself so go to PAC or office hours or ask a friend.
Emily Thorsen '26
Major: Computer Science Minors: Mathematics, Physics 
91精简版 Me: I am a Junior from Lancaster, PA. I love music as well as watching TV (sitcoms are the best).
Why PAC? I have always loved math, and I am so fortunate to have great teachers who helped me overtime and made sure I understood the content. I want to share what I have learned from them to help others.
Favorite Classes: My overall favorite class is CS318 because I loved learning a completely new language and about how a computer functions. My favorite math class is MA215 because I really enjoyed writing proofs and using logic.
Academic Advice: Make sure you are not memorizing how to solve a problem. Memorizing will not help in the long run, and if you understand how to solve a certain problem, you can use that logic towards others. To do this, make sure you are asking for help often.
Rachel Xia
Major: Mathematics and Psychology 
91精简版 me: I'm a sophomore from Tianjin, China. I like playing tennis and dancing. I'm taking riding class at 91精简版 now and I love it!
Why PAC?: I want to help others to solve math problems because PAC has been really helpful to me throughout my math courses in the past.
Favorite class: My favorite math class in 91精简版 so far is MA 215.
Academic advice: Be creative when you are thinking of all the possibilities to solve problems and don't give up before you even try!
