Why Applied Mathematics?
I chose to pursue Applied Mathematics because I have always had a passion for and excelled in mathematics. Beyond that, what truly intrigues me is the realm of information. Alongside mathematics, my interests span teaching, film, music, visual art, writing, philosophy, and history – all of which, in my view, involve the meaningful exchange and processing of information. Recognizing data as one of the most dynamic and impactful ways to engage with and utilize information, I believe that a major in Applied Mathematics offers versatility, allowing me to explore various fields of interest such as healthcare, business, art, and social service. Moreover, the relevance of Applied Mathematics to artificial intelligence, which I perceive as the future, motivates me to develop a strong foundation in machine learning, ensuring that I remain competitive in this evolving landscape.
