Introduction

My name is Kimball Germane. I am a Junior with a declared major of Computer Engineering, but I am changing it to Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science.

Math classes taken since calculus:

Math 334
Math 348 (I think it's 348, the class was PDE)
CS 236 (Discrete Math)
Math 214
Math 190
Math 343

I am taking this class 60% to fulfill requirements for the major, 40% because I like math. But maybe I'm not so sure on what abstract algebra really is. I really liked Math 190. I wonder if it's anything like that...

The most effective math professor I have had is either Vianey Villamizar or Sum Chow. I had Dr. Villamizar for both flavors of differential equations and he can explain (what I think are) complex topics very clearly. I had Dr. Chow for linear algebra, and even though there was a little bit of a language barrier, his method of teaching was enlightening.

I've trained in Shaolin kung fu for over eight years.
