Question
OK I need help. I took this class spring semester at UT austin and failed. So now I am taking it at Austin Comunity College and I made a 20% on the first test. If I make corrections I can raise that to a 40%.  Is there anyway I can e-mail you a copy of the test along with my solutions

Answer
As long as there weren't too many questions on the exam, you could type in all of the problems and send them to me.  I can give you a few hints:

d(x^n)/dx = nx^(n-1) (it does not matter if x is an integer or fraction; note that x^0.25=0.25x^-0.75);

x=distance, v=velocity, a=acceleration, dx/dt=v, dv/dt=a;

area under a curve between a and b is the integral from a to b of the curve (area under x^2 from 1 to 4 is 4^3/3 - 1^3/3 = 64/3 - 1/3);

the integral of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C (the integral of x^5.5 is x^6.5/6.5);

if an integral has limits (a,b), let F(X)=integral(f(x)), and the answer is F(b)-F(a);

maximums and minimums occur when the derivative is 0;

Any kind of calculus question you want. I also have answered some questions in Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies), Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and Biology.

Experience

Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 25 years. Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors. Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.

Publications
Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 7,500 questions on the PC. Well over 2,000 of them have been in calculus.

Education/Credentials
I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required. I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University. I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.

Awards and Honors
I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times. All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).

Past/Present Clients
My past clients have been students at OSU, students at the college in South Seattle, referals from a company, friends and aquantenances, people from my church, and people like you from all over the world.
