Richard Feynman's insight in 'Fun to Imagine' that 'the world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things if you look at it right' is simple yet startling, and his charisma is clearly evident in his biography 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!' His nervous presentation on the Wheeler-Feynman theory to Einstein et al. led me to Feynman's work in quantum electrodynamics, detailed in his book 'QED: The strange theory of light and matter'....

Computational Problem Solving Tutoring FAQ
As computers play an increasingly prevalent role in modern society, the ability to use them to solve various problems has become of central importance. Computers are particularly suited to certain tasks, such as storing large amounts of information, completing logical and numerical operations, and performing a series of tasks many times on a substantial number of elements. Some tasks are far too time-consuming, error prone, or complex to be successfully completed by one or even several human workers. Instead, the solution to many problems lies in the power of computational approaches. In fact, nearly all problems can be solved with the aid of computational tools and the answers provided by such tools are typically easier both to obtain and to modify for reuse in similar tasks in the future. Varsity Tutors helps students connect with custom-tailored tutoring for computational problem solving.
The educational directors of Varsity Tutors await your phone call. They are prepared to help you build a student profile that can provide potential tutors the opportunity to view your needs. Tutors can then view a wide range of information on your profile, including your learning style, coursework, homework, projects, testing details, and concerns, among many others. These are valuable details that allow your tutor to see potential roadblocks in your tutoring experience, as well as identify their ability to offer you their services. Just as no two students are alike, no two tutors are. They each have unique skills, though they all are highly capable of communicating a simplified explanation to you. When you speak with your personal tutor, they will use these details to create a highly personalized learning plan.
With a customized tutoring guide, your studies are organized and streamlined to focus on your concentration and weaknesses. Your personal tutor bases these off of assessments, allowing each session to inform the next. This means that as you master or work with concepts, your tutor will be able to identify your mastery level and future needs. Of course, you are free to control the direction of each session, whether you need to rewind, fast forward, or pause on a specific concept.
No matter what type of project you are working on, whether it is one in the biological sciences, mathematics, economics, or any other discipline, an exceptional tutor can help you construct a solution in the most efficient way possible. Tutors can assist with all projects, both big and small. The advantage of working with a private tutor to create a computer-based solution to your problem is that your input can be included every step of the way. In addition, your tutor provides instant feedback to ensure that you don't develop bad habits or make mistakes, as these can cause huge problems in your project if you do. They can build your confidence levels to ensure that you are well-prepared for presentations, computations, and other uses for your course.
A computational problem-solving tutor can provide assistance in all programming languages, such as Java, JavaScript, C, C++, R, Ruby, and more. Additionally, if you are unsure which computer applications or programming languages would be necessary, your tutor can help you determine the best one to fit your needs. Computational problem solving tutors can help with the implementation of any number of algorithms, whether your task is to build a database, create an application to assist with business or scientific calculations, or analyze and perform operations on a large set of data.
With the help of a private tutor, you can learn the easiest and most efficient way to use computational methods to solve a wide variety of problem types. your tutor can meet with you at any location of your choosing or online face-to-face through the live learning platform.

Recent Computational Problem Solving Tutoring Session Notes
We covered material in the first chapter. The student's assignment is to begin working through Chapter 2 on her own until Thursday. I told her to email me her questions and concerns so I can help her go as quickly as she wants. Also took a look at a sample program to give her some exposure to C++ syntax.
This session was a review of a number of fundamental Java concepts, requested by the student's father. We discussed the general meaning of source code, compilation, and the Java virtual machine. Likewise, I took time to review the basic syntax of classes (e.g. the meanings of fields, methods, and constructors, as well as the use of objects, the language of "classes" vs "instantiations of classes", etc.).
This was the first session for this student and I, for which we covered the foundation of what he seeks to learn and develop with respect to his online presence and digital media strategy. We agreed on a schedule and homework and completed a few simple tasks to get him started with using Twitter. I also assigned readings and tasks to complete for our next session and look forward to watching his online footprint grow.
On Tuesday the student and I met at the library to work on her first essay for her multimedia class. This involved watching several videos, reading through her notes, and reading several articles in her textbook. The paper was 800 words and it covered several questions asked by the teacher. We went through all the material and got a good start on the paper.
Today, we revised the student's project and got it mostly completed. She has ordered a new phone, and has never used texting before, so we will be spending some of next week going through text messaging. This is especially important since she is implementing texting into her project.
We went over the basics of WordPress and dug into some HTML concepts. I got a better understanding of what the student was looking for in his sessions, and he seems very motivated to create a custom website.
