In the last post, we talked about how much computer science involves math. This post is about some of the ways modern math relies on computer science.

Underwater Views: Papercraft
I love aquatic life (especially octopuses, but that’s for another time). Several years ago, I made these submarine windows so I could pretend I was underwater.

To be Hated, or to be Mildly Hated
The first night I was in Rome, I took a shower and passed out. But what did I do the second day? I had a feeble attempt at touring Rome and getting lost– it was beautiful– don’t get me wrong; however, I somehow ended up in all the tourist spots, missing the authentic Italian experience […]

Trees, Dictionaries, Pickles, and Loops: Part I

Math doesn’t usually come to mind when we think about computer science. In reality, the two fields have an incredibly close relationship.
Welcome Crafty Readers!

Il Viaggio in Italia*
*The Journey to Italy The journey to Florence, Italy has begun: with some tears and the realization that I have become a bird that has flown very far away from its nest. But alas, there I was in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a six-hour layover before my flight to Rome, trying to stay calm as my […]
