Unlike many student,I studied mathematics very willingly throughout high school.I enjoyed working on the problems and did well in class.My grandma always told me,”if you can do well in math,you can do anything.” I didn’t really believe it,of course.I studied mathematics because I was good at it.For the same reason,I decided to study mathematics as well as computer science when I entered Macalester College in 1987.My favorite subject in mathematics is geometry,and I did my senior-year honors paper on finite geometry.That was something I thought I would never be able to make use of after I finished college,but it later came in handy when I became a graduate student in computer science.
