Zen and Calculators

From an applied mathematics point of view, I have to admit (and as odd as this sounds) I never really thought I would have to dabble into so much pure mathematics. Throughout my math and engineering [...]

Meet Sonia

Sonia is a junior majoring in applied mathematics and is from Mauritius, a small island with gorgeous beaches in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Sonia's whole life has consisted of travelling. From Singapore to England, through India, she has been all over the world. She secretly wishes she could escape to Thailand from time to time, as it is one of her favorite places to visit. She also enjoys painting, making handmade stuff, dancing, singing, playing WoW and listening to music. Her favorite author is Jane Austen. She speaks English, French, Creole and a little Italian, and is in the process of learning a fifth language. She also has an adorable Sheltie that she loves to bits. Sonia is currently involved in the Street Dance Club and I is hoping to join a couple of math related clubs.
