A Little About Me

  I have always been interested in programming and anything to deal with computers while growing up. Having a Dad that is a computer science professor only added to my interest. I started programming when I was 6 and have never stopped since. It wasn’t until my freshman year of high school that I heard about data science and I wanted to try it out. So, I signed up for a data science bootcamp and I quickly fell in love with it. Alongside my high school studies, I completed Dataquest’s professional program, earning three certifications after 400 hours of coursework. My first year at Baylor, I was able to test out of 1401 and 1402, which was bittersweet because it meant that I must wait to meet my fellow data scientists. This is why I’m so excited about this class – I’m eager to learn, work on projects, and meet others who share my passion for data science. 
  Baylor has always been my home. My dad became a professor here before I was born, so I grew up knowing that one day I would attend Baylor. Now, as a student, I’m living that dream. I have met so many amazing people that have helped me in so many ways. I saw this especially in Spring of 2024 when two of my grandparents passed away suddenly. With so much family and friends here, Baylor was always the perfect choice for me.

Quote from the Immortal Message 1

“Because of what Baylor has meant to you in the past, because of what she will mean to you in the future, oh, my students, have a care for her. Build upon the foundations here the great school of which I have dreamed, so that she may touch and mold the lives of future generations and help to fit them for life here and hereafter. To you seniors of the past, of the present, of the future I entrust the care of Baylor University. To you I hand the torch. My love be unto you and my blessing be upon you.”

Using the LaTeX to make a math formula

Since I am a math major, I wanted to test out the LaTeX part of R markdown. So here is how to find the determinant of a any nxn matrix A where i is the row index and j is the column index.

\[ det(A)=\sum_{j = 1}^{n}(-1)^{i+j}A_{i,j}det(A^{(i,j)}) \]
