Group Projects:
Working in groups is a crucial part of success. One needs to
be able to communicate with others to express and develop
ideas. Three of the larger projects I have been involved
with during my pursuit of a mathematics degree include:
Simulation Project: This project involved analyzing data from
gas stations to simulate and obtain an optimal fuel cost and
storage
Netflix Project: This project involved analyzing data from
Netflix users to design a process that produced better movie
recommendations
Game Theory Project: This project touched on strategies
behind game theory
