Digital Systems
Ran through the basics of how the American Government works. I found I already knew most of the material, but it proved to be an interesting course nevertheless.
Discrete Structures
While we did discuss some basic mathematical concepts including basic set theory and logic, this class mostly focused on different configurations of parallel processors and the runtime of simple operations on them. The professor, Russ Miller, does research in this area, which explains why it was so heavily emphasized.
Intro to Computer Science Part II
We coded in java, and learned about simple data structures and their applications. There was also a semester-long project where we worked in a group of four people and designed a fractal-generator.
Introduction to Industrial Engineering
This was a one-credit class that met weekly. Almost every professor in the department came in to speak about their research. One area of research that especially interested me was using mathematics to determine how to use drones and trucks to deliver packages more efficiently.
Macroeconomics
This was a basic econ class, fairly straightforward. I learned a lot about how currency actually works. I understood concepts like inflation and unemployment to some degree, but after taking this class, I have a much better understanding about how those types of thinks work and relate. I want to take more Econ, but I’m not sure time will permit.
