    What do you love and what do you feel is your “life’s task” calling? I love using business intelligence and computer science to analyze, model and solve complex problems. Complexity refers to the difficulty in predicting the overall behavior of a system—even when given near perfect information—due to the large number of components and interconnections between them (Edmonds, 1995)(Heylighen, 1996). Therefore, a complex problem is one that is difficult to solve due to the large number of…

    children sport camps and even luau. Once I reached high school I made the decision that I would get a Computer Science degree from this University, so I worked diligently to achieve a 3.78 GPA as a full AP student with extra-curricular as Robotics and Sea Scouts. When I started my freshman year at the University things went smooth and I was enjoying myself, I focused on taking my computer science cores and studying. During my freshman finals my grandmother Virginia passed away. My school career…

    In this paper, the author has explained how mathematics can be taught to software engineering students. It is important for software engineering student to know mathematical foundation and techniques to solve problems. Mainly the foundation contained logic and discrete mathematics and techniques that author explained are specification and reasoning. The specification is a process in which informally given concepts are transformed into mathematical model and theory. The reasoning is the process…

    in “how people learn to write not as children but as adults in moving among different discourse communities” ( Wardle 284 IP 1). One example that Wardle used to further her understanding of a discourse community was the example of “Alan who is a computer support specialist who did not learn or choose to write in the ways his humanities department colleagues (Primarily professors, and graduate students) found appropriate and legitimate” (Wardle 291 IP 1). Alan viewed himself as a god in his…

    college with an attitude that if I want to become someone I needed to change the way I looked at my academics. Starting out my college career I had no idea what I really wanted to be, as I was all over the place, first chemistry major and then a computer science major. I went on and tried both of the majors out thinking that’s exactly who I really wanted to be, but in fact I really pulled my academics to the minimal low and did not succeed in both. That is when I realized I needed a solid…

    Amalie, commonly referred to as Emmy, was a German mathematician. Her contributions to algebra have gained her recognition as “the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times” (Encyclopædia Britannica). Noether received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Erlangen in 1907 with a dissertation on algebraic invariants. Shortly after she was invited the University of Göttingen in 1915 by David Hilbert and Felix Klein, Noether used her knowledge of invariants to assist them in exploring the…

    Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

    Based on Marcia’s theory of identity and status, I believe that I am in achievement because I have a high level of commitment to my choice of major which is computer science and it has always been something that I ever loved since I was a kid. The only possibility that might cause me to switch major is when companies stop hiring computer science major or pay extremely bad. Other than that, I highly doubt I would switch my current major for any other reasons. In my opinion, I do believe that my…
