Mathematics and Computer Science
As a kid, mathematics never interested me that much, it was just something I would do for school. But I did get into programming when my uncle introduced it to me. As I programmed though, I started to see the close relationship between programming and mathematics. Mathematics gave me a structure to know how to solve different computational problems. Then as the first helped lift the second, the second helped lift the first. I started to use my computational problem solving to understand more into how to solve mathematical problems. Then my senior year of high school, I was put into a Calculus class with a teacher that was enthusiastic about mathematics. Her enthusiasm spread to me and I fell in love with mathematics. So much so that I decided to make my major in college Applied Mathematics. During work, when no customers were around, I would pull out my ruler, protractor, pen, and calculator and do my own math every chance that I got. That was all fine and dandy until I went on a churc...
