Introduction, due Sept 1

I'm a mathematics major in my fifth (and final) year at BYU.

I've taken MATH 214, 190, 315, 342, 343, 334, 351, 362, 371. 

I'm taking this class because I find the subject material. I think it will stand out on an application amidst the other math courses I've taken. I want to see if I might be interested in pursuing further a career field related to crypto-analysis.

I have a little experience with Maple. I worry that might be a major struggle during this course.

As far as programming experience, the only experience I have is through taking CS 142.

The first math professor I had at BYU was Prof. Villamazar. He remains one of my favorite professors. I took 119 from him. He explained the concepts thoroughly. More than that, he inspired the students to take the material seriously and to strive for understanding.

I'm unique among others because I'm a math major. There aren't that many of us. Among my peers in math, I'm unique because I like to branch out and study other subjects, mostly history.
