Math is a subject that has and will always pull my interests. This is because it is a subject that leads me to a single unique answer. Once I began attending high school and was able to enroll in physics, sparked another interest, more than a simple interest in math, but an interest in math with actual application in the real world. Physics allowed me to see how math could be used to predict events. Physics and Computer science are the main classes that I have taken that have shaped my interests for my major of science in mathematics.
