Many former students report back that C&M experience is a big plus in their careers. For example, former C&M student Brad Winemiller is a Render TD for Pixar Animations Studios in Richmond, CA. Brad puts it this way: "I wouldn't be doing this stuff if it weren't for those classes. It's all math and working together with other people." Former C&M NetMath distance education student Paul Emyard is a Network analyst for Chevron Oil. He says: "While higher level mathematics does not come normally into play in my day to day job, the analytical thinking skills I've learned [in C&M] sure do. I am now known among my peers as the guy you want to ask if you have a math-related problem. Taking the C&M NetMath classes has got the attention of my management and I feel that it has helped my credibility with them immensely."
