Math is the closest thing to magic we possess. It allows us to understand the universe and predict the future. Lacking access to specific courses, including AP classes, I took responsibility for my growth by taking classes through UCScout and UCSD Extended Studies. I completed AP Calculus BC in my freshman year, both parts of AP Physics C in my sophomore year, and Calculus III in my junior year. These courses provided the knowledge to develop groundbreaking technologies for my robotics team and win awards at science fairs. In addition to my own learning I have spent many hours mentoring, creating educational videos, and even gave a TEDx Talk to encourage others interest in math. Here is a small sampling of this passion of mine.
