Computer Science and Mathematics

I have a strong interest in both the practical and theoretical aspects of computer science. While my personal journey began with software engineering and programming, I believe that to be a great programmer, one must study the theory rigorously, and creatively apply it. This is why I have diverted much of my effort into learning the theory well.

Moreover, much of theoretical computer science is built on mathematics. It is for this reason I also have a strong interest in mathematics. I want to learn everything from the ground up, with no gaps in between.
