3 Majors:
1. Premedicine: Majors under the premedicine branch include Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology, etc. Under these majors one can fulfill all requirements in order to get into medical school as well as grasp a strong foundation to all the other classes they will take in the future. Also, this major is a gateway to get into all other parts of science, in regard to what exact major you choose.
2. Neuroanatomy: This major really intersts me in the aspect that I have always wanted to be a neurologist. Neuroanatomy is the study of the brain and the nervous system with a special focus in the structure and function. It focusesd on the brains signals to the body, and how the body responds. I am really interested in this major and would love to pusue this major.
3. Biomedical science: People in this major usually pursue a degree in medicine and grow a true foundation in biology, that could integrate all sciences together to be in any field. They also explore human health, medicine, and diseases. This major ties to the field that i want to be in so it would really benefit me to pursue this major, also i would really enjoy grasping major concepts.
3 Colleges:
1. Penn State(All): Pensylvania state University is a public institution that has many opportunties to pursue any carreer. 78% of all applicants that meet their criteria are accepted and it is nationally accredited. In my eyes it is the equivalent to a Cal. state in california, and offers B.A.'s as well as A.A's. The major that I would interested in and they offer is Biomedical Sciences. Only about 7% of all students who attend Penn State are out of state students. Only 3,367 students, who are undergrad's, attend Penn State. Also, the football program at Penn State is nationally known and usually attend national competitions.
2. Yale University: Although this university does not offer some of my intended major, I really would love to attend this institution. Yale is a really competitive school, where only 6% of all the students attending their undergraduate program are in state students, while a wapping 94% of all students are out of state. Only about 9% of all aplicants are accepted due to the fact that its is nationally ranked amoung the top schools. There all only about 5,200 students who attend Yale, and it is in a small city. Attention is really crucial at this institution, therefore the ratio of student-to-faculty is 6:1, meaning that for every 6 students there is one faculty member. I would really want to attend next year and am hoping for the Yes this march.
3. Brown University: This univrsity, set in Rrovidence, Rhode Island, is a member of the Ivy Leaugue Schools and is known nationwide as a top institution. Approx. 14% of all applicants are admitted, while 86% are either rejected or waitlisted. It is a 4-year liberal arts college that combines rigorous coarsework with opportunties to excell. There are 6,095 students in Browns undergraduate program and 86% of all the students attending Brown are out of state students. I would love to go to Brown University and am also looking forward to a Yes from them also.

Remembering
Remembering Transformations: I remember transformations in an easy way.
1st. If its in parenthesis, it is going left or right according to the symbol. (when its a -negative, then it is going right but if its a positive+ then it goes to the left.)
2nd. When there is a number added or subtracted to the end of the equation without parenthesis, the graph of the line or equation is gonna go up or down corresponding to its sign. (meaning that if its negative its gonna go down, and if its positive its gonna shift up.)
3rd. Finally, when there is a negative before the equation, the equation is gonna be flipped about the y=0 line and you will get the reflection of the parent function.
Trigonometry: 2nd and 3rd question combined...
Honestly trig. passed me like crazy, i went from trig. A and learning only up to chapter 3, then to Ms. Gapacs class starting on chapter 6.3. (therefore i skipped 3 whole chapters where she introduced the whole unit circle topic. This made learning anything 1000x harder!!!) I don't really remember any short cuts or tips. sorry=(
I know that there are easy ways for short cuts in trig. but i always had to do catching up instead of learning short routes. thanks for undertstanding....!!!!=)

Logs and Inverses
4 Major Concepts learned:
1. Inverses are symmetrical about the the y=x line. -The input and outputs are switched and then the inverses are shown.
2.One to One functions- Is when both f(x) and f^-1(x) are functions, when the are both functions they pass the vertical line test. For every line, there is exactly one point that hits every part of it, not more than one.
3. I understood that "e" in logarithms and inverses equals to 2.71828 and that it is a base of a logarithm (loge).
4. When an equation that includes a loge but has no base, it is always a log with a base of 10, this enables the log to be canceled and used with other like logarithms. (log10)
What I did not understand:
1. I did not understand how to graph any graph that has a complex, well at least for me, form like f(x)=3x=1/x+1, or any thing that has any part under it. Any help???

Even and Odd Functions
Even Functions
Even Functions are defined as having the same output (Y) for both inputs values of (X) and (-X). Algebraically, an EVEN function can be defined as f(-x)= f(-x). When plotted on the graph, certain points such as (x,y) and (-x,y) are going to be reflections of eachother about the y-axis. Therefore Quadrant 1 would be symmetrical to quadrant 2 and quadrant 3 would be symmetrical to quadrant 4. For example:

Odd Functions
Odd Functions are defined as having symmetry along the origin. Its easily known as the mirror image along the origin. Algebraically, an ODD function is defined as f(-x)= -f(x). If a set of points were to be graphed only on the 1st quadrant, the mirror image of the points, reffering to odd functions, would be on the 3rd quadrant and vice versa, while the reflection of Quadrant 2 is quadrant 4 and vice versa. For example:


SORRY ITS SO LATE!!! I HAD NO COMPUTER TO DO IT ON UNTIL 2DAY......
