Math 3 Honors Pre-Calc: The Ellipse

Name:Natalie Novella
Date:4/21/17

I grappled with the overall concept for a while before I understood how to solve for ellipses. I had
never learned about this topic before so it was difficult to self teach myself. I used the HaM of
persistence because even when I didnt quite understand at some points, I kept pushing through and
eventually got a hang of things. All in all, I feel like learning how to do this with only the help of a text
book helped me become more self-reliant and understand my abilities as a mathematician just a little
bit more.

Beautiful notes and problem set
