ABSTRACT

So I started seriously . . . I guess in my high school we had to take up through chemistry, but then I went on and took physics. We only had math up through trigonometry, but I begged my math teacher to let us have a pre-calculus class because I wanted to go on. And that pre-calculus class came about because in my junior year in high school I was accepted into a National Science Foundation summer program for high achievers in mathematics for high school students. So I spent the summer in Emory University studying math.
