I am applying to Stanford for admission to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science. I am interested in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in the Design and Analysis of
Approximation Algorithms, Combinatory and Complexity Theory.
My interest in Mathematics goes back to the time I was at school. This interest has only grown through my years in school and high school, as I have learnt more and more about the subject. Having represented India at the International Mathematical
Olympiads on two occasions, I have been exposed to elements of Discrete Mathematics, particularly Combinatory and Graph Theory, outside the regular school curriculum at an early stage. The intensive training programs we were put through for the Olympiads have given me a lot of confidence in dealing with abstract mathematical problems.

Science. Having been exposed to the various facets of Computer Science in the course of my undergraduate studies, I have found Theoretical Computer Science
Rationale: The coder should refer to the CPT manual Index and reference the main term "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" and only one code is given.
I am submitting my resume for the position of Program Support Assistant within the Medical Foster Home at the Department of Veterans Affairs. I bring the ability to communicate effectively while promoting customer satisfaction by resolving concerns and issues of clients. As a Bachelor of Social Work graduate, I have received training and experience in public speaking and cultural diversity; therefore my academic background makes me a qualified candidate for the position. In addition to my academic achievements, my volunteer services and internship over the course of a year in a clinical setting, has equipped me with vital tools such as the coordination of services, data entry, clerical support, and communication with patients, staff, and/or
Therefore, most would infer that I pursue something related to my current field of occupation, right? This assumption is incorrect since I am determined to learn new topics, which led me to discover the unexpected: computer science. Versatility is a quality that few fields can offer, it was one of the reasons computer science attracted my interest. An individual may explore areas anywhere from game design, teaching, to cybersecurity. As I am a definite novice, my plans are to discover which branch suits my talents best and roll with it. Deciding to pursue this degree, was surprising due to my lack of necessity for new-fangled gadgets during my adolescence through my early college
My passion for mathematics was fixed at the age of ten, on the morning that my mathematics teacher told I would be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge, 'as practice for when you are older'. As I nervously started to answer the questions, a whole world began to open before me. I revelled in the problem solving, answering questions of a nature I had not seen before. My teachers were delighted when I emerged from the exam hungry for more. Since then I have consistently demonstrated my aptitude, achieving gold awards through to senior level, and scoring highly in the European Kangaroo.
The reason why I took this course was because I felt like technology has definitely influenced this world on a larger scale than previously imagined. If you look in our ordinary lives, you will see products of technology and computing. Everyday objects like iPhones, calculators, even cars are being born out of programming and computing. The scale of this mass technological improvement is also a reason why I am taking AP computer science. If you think about it, just a century ago computing was just an idea, having machines complete everyday tasks. Now if you fast forward to our time, right now, once massive computers have shrunk down
Prior to writing this essay, I sat down with my mom to come up with ideas on stories that have made me who I am today. That is when I realized I have made more personal growth in the past four years of my high school career that I have before this period of time. I am ending my high school career with more knowledge than I ever expected.
my IT classes where I was able to do my own research and apply the theory
Math is my forte. By the time I was six or seven, I fully comprehended the concept of variables and algebraic expressions. Its fascinating to me that when I pick up a math text book, as long as I can pick up on a concept that I have already seen, I can
Mathematics captured my interest as early as primary school. Also referred to as ′′intellectual gymnastics,′′ mathematics became my subject of focus as I consistently secured excellent
From cartwheel to supercomputer the evolution of machines has always fascinated me like nothing else. A machine- symbolizes man's rational thinking. On that account a computer is the most ingenious invention of man. It exemplifies the prowess of human mind to perceive things rationally and put them to use in performing extremely difficult tasks with effortless ease.
Why would we want to learn? Learning is difficult. Luckily, we have an unsung hero willing to help us when we need it the most. The question ‘why’. It is a short and simple word, but using it, we receive the ability to learn. It is human nature to want to know more, and the question ‘why’ is the solution.
Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with specifying, designing, developing and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.
Apps are now an integral part of our everyday lives. We use them to check the weather and check into a flight, to see when the next bus is coming, record notes, read books, play games and much more.
Studying physics this year has helped me develop my analytical and evaluation skills that are essential in computing science. In addition to physics, I have taken computing and maths to advanced higher level as I believe it will support my understanding when I study computing science at university. Often in my free study periods, I continue to study computing as I want to stay ahead of my class on the material we get taught and I am practicing on how to code in Python via YouTube tutorials and PyCharm which is an integrated development environment. Currently in my maths classes I study key topics such as calculus and linear algebra which are important in understanding the theory behind computing
It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.
