people’s perspectives on these issues. Not only does it make for good conversation, but it enhances my knowledge in ways I could not have done myself. Because of this, I wanted to choose a liberal studies elective that would be interesting and fun to partake in. When I came across this course, I was very excited and eager to learn.

My own personal math autobiography… should I start with the good, the bad, or the just plain scary? Perhaps starting with my overall confidence level will be a good starting point so I don’t overwhelm you right in the beginning.
