When the environment for learning is so enjoyable, it's impossible not to try your best and to build a relationship with everyone around you.
I wouldn't be doing this stuff [at Pixar] if it weren't for those classes. It's all math and working together with other people.
As the years go by and I look back on my undergraduate experience, I realize more and more that Calculus&Mathemeatica was the most important thing I did at the University of Illinois. It was an excellent experience. Beyond Calculus, I learned computer programming, problem solving, and the value of teamwork. I am still realizing the positive impact it has made on my career ... including being an big asset when applying to MIT! Last, but not least, C&M has created many lasting friendships that I truly value! C&M develops a very unique ability to help students realize their potential by allowing them to create their own experience!
Comments from Students
The problems we solved . . . apply to our classes and to our lives. I learned 10 times more than I would've in [a traditional calculus class] . I actually feel smart. Because we do everything by computer, we are forced to know why we do what we do. The style and the types of questions are things we can relate to and picture. I personally learn more when I understand and am interested... I gotta tell you, this is the most fun I have ever had in a math class. Seriously.
