I’m obligated to write a few words about the Southern Section FBLA conference I went to a couple weeks ago. It was similar to last year, but there were fewer people because between last year and this, they split the Southern Section into a new section because it was so large. Last year, I placed…Continue Reading…
A cubic polynomial function f is defined by: f(x)=4x^3+ax^2+bx+k where a, b, and k are constants. The function f has a local minimum at x=-1, and the graph of f has a point of inflection at x=-2. 1) Find the values of a and b 2) If the integral from 0 to 1 of f(x)dx…Continue Reading…
I’ve started a new segment for the “Mustang Update”, a weekly (roughly) TV program broadcast at my high school. I’m in the crew this year, and I’ve already had a big impact. Most weeks, I do the bluescreening (which has proven difficult with the equipment they have). Now, I’ve started my own little program I’ve…Continue Reading…

from Kaplan “Revenge of the Nerds” While you might be comfortable many other places, the place you’d really like to be is in the lab—computer or otherwise. You want to know what’s cutting edge in science and technology, and you want to be at the forefront of the innovations. If this is you, take a…Continue Reading…
What a year it’s been. Between computer science and chemistry, I’ve had a lot of fun and I’m going to miss it. I’m not sure how I’ll get by without a computer class next year. Perhaps I can get in the lab at lunch. I might also take the A+ computer certification course. Anyway, I…Continue Reading…
