Life at Wittenberg
Graduation
Year: 2004
Major: Math
Minor:
Africana Studies
Athletics:
Soccer, Basketball, Track and
Field
Most Helpful Courses: I really enjoyed the senior
capstone class in which we learned about the mathematicians as well as the
math. As far as what do I use the
most in my everyday life, I have often fallen back on the introductory coding
that I learned in the mandatory computer science class for math majors. But for me, the most helpful classes
were all of them. They taught me
logic and a way of thinking and problem solving that has helped me in every
aspect of my personal and professional life.
Courses You Wish You Would’ve Taken: I wish that I had a better understanding of what jobs a Math major could
lead you to. I was under the
impression you could either be a teacher or an actuary, and there is a whole
world for us math kids out there!
Most Helpful Experiences: Through my educational
and athletic interests, Wittenberg took me all over the country and even to
China and South Africa! There was
no replacing the opportunity to experience other cultures and learn with
students from around the world.
