Idk so where you from I'm from va
i am from utah
I'm gonna be a freshman that's cool what year are you
i am going to be a sophomore
that's cool what part of utah
southern utah we cant talk to much in specifics though
what will they do my cousins serving in st. george rn
oh really that is cool that is probably about 30 minutes from where i live my parents dont really live anywhere in a city it is just out in the middle of nowhere and the reason we don't talk specifics is that this becomes open source data at the end of the competition and anyone could know who you are
yikes I've given people my social media oh well
yeah it isnt that big of a deal but they disqualify you if you do i think
I don't think they will cause that's a lot of peile people*
yeah maube what is your major?
I'm gonna be a freshman after my mission but it'll be applied mathematics
nice me too! the acme program?
yep you enjoy it
yeah i do
my worry is I won't be able to find a job cause people have told me that
oh dont worry the acme major has people recruiting before you even finish the program a lot of people are ignorant just how high in demand smart mathematicians are of course you need to know how to apply your skills to real world problems but it is a big deal people pay 300-500k a year the talent is so scarce (more particularly for applied math expertise in machine learning)
like computer science topics cause my skills in that are I took multivariable calculus and it was ok but my teacher sucked so hopefully it'll be easier the second time around
yeah i still have to take multivariable calculus right now i am doing linear algrebra
at my school they don't offer linear algebra so at first it's confusing. there's no way I could test out of multi tho cause my teacher sucks
yeah
do you think a minor on business would be a smart piring
i didnt even know you could test out of linear algrebra
pairing*
unless you got credit for concurrent enrollment yeah in fact that is what i am doing acme it stands for applied and computational mathematics with an emphasis
idk my cousin tested out of multi so idk for sure
my emphasis is business and as such i will qualify for a business minor
your minor is in buisness
yes it is i am taking accounting and finance this year two classes
so do you think it'll be easy to get a job
yeah if you do well in the program and you attend all of the networking events people are getting jobs at apple and google and all sorts of cool companies it is still a very small program but it is top notch
do you know how many people get the scholarships cause I can't find any data on that stuff
which ones?
the incoming freshman
i have done some research into it
what'd you find
there is a scholarship matric matrix that tells you if you will get one
no not the actual byu general ones the math department
depending on your gpa and act oh it depends upon your math achievements you have to have gone above and beyond
do you know how many people got it your freshman year
umm i left on my mission and i didnt get one
well when you got back
also i havent heard of anyone who got one in the math department so i dont know how those work but there is a gpa scholarship thats the one i am on
