Is it really this easy to get into a UC as a pure math major?

@arcadefire1027: Hey, no problem! It turned out to be a pretty compact little script. I was a Perl developer for years before going back to school, and Python is like all the things I liked about Perl combined with all the things I like about Java, but in something less… superfluous.

I like to pick little math algorithms when I practice a language. Often times it helps you understand both the structure of the language, and as a bonus the mathematical concept you are modeling.

However, don’t try to write your own supplementary function library to do calculus. That way lies madness.
