Professor Kate Poirier, Spring 2017

Tag: Introducing Myself.

Introducing Brian Ceyko

My major is CST, I’m interested in Computer Science, because since I was a kid, I played video games, and wanted to be able to make my own.  I enjoyed video games, so wanted to become a programmer to be able to create games other people will enjoy, like how I enjoyed the ones I played.  I want to be able to find a job in programming, more oriented in making games and fun programs, I hope to find a good company to hire me when I graduate. I’d like to find a job where they train me a little, and see what I know, and not just hire me, expecting me to know everything. I don’t mean to completely train me, just to get me set up with what the company uses, and what they expect me to know to do my job.

I hope to learn interesting things from this course that math can be used to find. I prefer using math for practical uses, as opposed to some formula’s that are rarely ever used in the real world, other than among other mathematically inclined people.  From what we learned so far, it seems this math course will teach us logical ways to use math, since similar math is used in engineering and programming. It’s interesting that these methods can be used to determine whether a mechanic, or piece of code will work by thinking more like how a computer does when interpreting code.

The closest thing I have to a hobby is that sometimes I like to draw, or try to use paint programs to make images. I sometimes experiment with trying to make/edit music, but I don’t have as much experience doing so, and usually stop after a short time.

Introducing Francis.x.Irizarry

  • Major: Computer Science
  • Reason for “Math/Computer Science”: My father is an IT manager, or rather a CIO at HSBC, Granted that he refused to involve any form of technological information upon myself I took an interest in hardware/software. I am trying to transfer to City College Grove School of Engineering (However, I was rejected for not having calculus 2, sadly the only reason.) I personally enjoy computers to an reasonable extent, and it is within my interests since I spend a majority of my day on a computer.
  • I do not plan to graduate from “CityTech”, I do not have any short or long term goals. Sadly. I want to succeed. That’s all.
  • ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (Tries to be funny and says they want a A) What I hope to get out of this course: Knowledge of how to define, create, and to develop algorithms. I want to become more efficient in Mathematics including (Current classes: Calculus 2, Physics 1, and Discrete mathematics and algorithms (and I am taking a programming class, with the same professor from the previous semester, which is/was/and will probably remain a joke)
  • Other interests/hobbies: I’m pretty boring, nothing much to offer, sorry.
  • Additional information: I was never good at math, and I was never truly given opportunities to involve myself in programming/server management until 2 semesters ago. I am a lazy imbecile. I will probably not involve myself in anything/anyone automatically.
