I'm a 2011 Computer Science undergraduate at University of Waterloo. My background includes internships at IBM, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft. I suppose I am an entrepreneur: in my free time, I like dreaming ideas and creating things (e.g Kurrently, Mama Translation). One of the craziest things I did was participate in the 7 Cubed Project. Not too many people know about this, but I was Time's Person of the Year in 2006. I use to tumblog videos and pictures, but now I do that through Facebook (subscribe!).

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Imagine replacing the sequence of algebra, geometry and calculus with a sequence of finance, data and basic engineering. In the finance course, students would learn the exponential function, use formulas in spreadsheets and study the budgets of people, companies and governments. In the data course, students would gather their own data sets and learn how, in fields as diverse as sports and medicine, larger samples give better estimates of averages. In the basic engineering course, students would learn the workings of engines, sound waves, TV signals and computers. Science and math were originally discovered together, and they are best learned together now.
