My major journey:

  • Math used to be the least major that I want to declare for I failed to maintain a good score in high school. However, here I took a course that complete altered my perception of Math. My professor of Multivariable Calculus showed me the beauty of Math. What’s more, I take college education as my last official chance to learn Math. Thus I declare myself as a Math major.

Major courses I have taken so far:

  • Multivariable Calculus; Linear Algebra; Ordinary Differential Equations
