Post One

Name: Cas ey B

Year: Junior

Major: Comp Sci

Minor: Math

Math Classes Taken: Discrete Math, Multivariable Calculus, Theory of Computation, Topics in Graph Theory

Weakest Part: Number theory, Probability & Statistics

Strongest Part: Computer Science, Discrete + Graph Theory, Calculus (but not diff eq)
Why I'm taking the class: I think it will be helpful after college, and may use it towards a math major.

What I want out of it: becoming comfortable with implementing math in programs, becoming comfortable with linear alg, diff eq, and statistics.

Interests: experimental electronic music, graph theory, networks, artificial intelligence, local music scene

Worst teacher: Unstructured assignments, class was just a reiteration of the reading, but was even easier. Spent too much time on simple topics. Didn't ask for feedback from the class, didn't ask the class questions.

Best teacher: well-structured class with weekly assignments, always willing to help, gave very challenging but not overly long problem sets. Enthusiastic.
