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!
