LaTeX: More than Math

These first weeks of school have gone by so fast: 16 hours of course­work will def­i­nitely keep any­one busy. Nonethe­less, CSCE 221 “Data Struc­tures and Algo­rithms” and its co-​​​​curricular, CSCE 222 “Dis­crete Struc­tures for Com­put­ing”, have def­i­nitely proven to be the most inter­est­ing classes I have taken thus far: CSCE 222 is a “math” course, but …

If Mr. Beeler were to see this list, he would surely assign multiple-​​​​page essays in response to them. I recently watched the fol­low­ing two movies and found them quite intrigu­ing: The Last Sin Eater Know­ing Hidalgo Both movies are extremely good sto­ries that describe human­ity and its ten­den­cies to stray from what God orig­i­nally intended for Cre­ation …
