STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FOR MS APPLIED STATISTICS. Right from childhood, I was fond of mathematics and how it had the ability to convey a lot of information with so little illustrations. This, together with my consistent good performance in mathematics throughout high school, was responsible for the nurturing of a special interest in it. This childhood zeal in the subject gradually crystallized into a more mature form as I stepped into higher studies. The most significant influence on my life has been my parents. They have encouraged me to learn more always, therefore, instilling in me an urge to know beyond what is evident and a drive to study more than what was demanded by my high school teachers. These habits not only helped …show more content…
I had full semester in-depth training in several mathematical, probability and statistical courses; notably amongst them are regression analysis, time series analysis, sample survey theory and stochastic processes. These courses gave me an insight into applied statistics through the practical problem based projects I undertook during my classes. I realized my passion for statistics when I performed exceptionally in each of these courses. I had to be methodical and diligent in my studies to be able to excel consistently. In view of this, I learnt the ability to think in an organized and efficient manner, became a fast learner and gained confidence to live up to the requirements of any coursework. Side by side with these courses, I received highly rigorous training in calculus and algebra, through a three semester calculus sequence and two semesters training in linear and abstract algebra. Moreover, my exposure to the world of computers at an early age gave me the opportunity to develop a considerable degree of familiarity with computers over the years. My self-study on the C programing language basics made it relatively easier for me to grasp the advanced concepts of computer languages and programing during my undergraduate studies. I have officially had a semester of training and fairly proficient in each of the following courses; Visual Basic for Applications, Microsoft Excel, MATLAB,
Environmental issues are not restricted to specific regions, but are global and this makes tackling them even more difficult. Problems such as rising pollution levels, climate change phenomena and resource depletion threaten to ruin our future if unchecked. Water, soil and air pollution have been responsible for many illnesses and fatalities all over the world. It has been estimated that approximately 12.6 million people died as a result of living or working in unhealthy environments. Access to safe and clean energy is another challenge the world is facing today. Many rural regions in India and many other countries still lack access to usable energy. Since my early days in college, I have made an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of these problems. My love and passion for the environment grew as I kept learning and as a student of engineering, I was determined to come up with solutions to these environmental challenges. This is what drove me towards the field of Environmental Engineering.
There are an abundant amount of subjects that peak my interests, but mathematics will always be the one subject that intellectually excites me. At times, it is able to both challenge me to the point of frustration, but it later gives me excessive excitement and happiness for overcoming the challenge. Similarly, it is like a wave flooding in shore because it is at first harsh and difficult, but it gradually smoothes and simplifies. It is a subject that I can fully interact and manipulate it to the best possible way of understanding it, which I fondly love because I learn better hands-on. However, it was truly benevolent instructors, who increased my love in math and enlighten a new way of
I am Andrew Soebagio, from Indonesia. I’ve been a student at North for about a year and a half now. I’m planning to graduate from North this upcoming fall, with an AS degree. A major that I have in mind is Petroleum Engineering; hopefully this plan will stick with me till I graduate.
Since 2008, I have attended four different colleges, as well as graduated with an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement, and earn a tech diploma in Fire Science. Certain subjects can be a challenge due to my kinesthetic learning style. My best way to learn is working with my hands experiencing physically. For instance, before I attended University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, for Natural Resources. I worked for three different agencies as a Forestry Technician, even though had no formal education in the area, but I still became skilled. Therefore, I went back to college after five years after graduating in 2013 from my first degree. As a non-traditional student back in college, working to earn a Bachelor’s degree. I have taken a variety of classes in social science, psychology, written communication, oral communications, report writing, fire science, General education, First Aid and CPR, criminal justice, natural resources, business math, college algebra, chainsaw, and some other classes in trades. Out of all of these classes the criminal justice, fire science, and natural science areas are my favorite and most interesting to me. My hardest classes I have taken was upper level math and my report
When I first came to El Camino, my academic goal was to earn a PhD in electrical engineering. My first semester, I took classes that had to do with my major such as Math 190, Physics 1A and Computer Science 1. Computer Science 1 was the first time I was exposed to computer science fundamentals. I had Professor Ghyam and he presented algorithms and programming language basics in a way that shaped how I conceptually understand the material and gave me the confidence to apply my knowledge in sequential computer science classes. Additionally, this class cultivated my appreciation for computer science and inspired me to spend that winter break teaching myself Python and was the first class at El Camino that made me reconsider my major.
And in my high school career, I have exposed myself to many challenging courses such as advanced placement or college credit classes to enhance my preparedness and foreknowledge of post-secondary life; I have learned many
As I proceeded to take the course of my own experience throughout school, my interest in mathematics developed when I turned twelve. I was fascinated by how math connects with life since then my objective has been to comprehend and be able to use these concepts throughout my life. Afterwards, when I got into high school the idea of majoring towards mathematics was concrete, and there was no doubt in my mind that this was what I wanted to achieve. Although I couldn't decide if I wanted to be an accountant, an actuary, a data analyst or a software engineer; they all needed different skills, and they were all skills I was interested in acquiring. So, when I met my freshman math teacher in high school, I was speechless because he demonstrated
My love for Math began in middle school. In 6th grade I was placed in Intensive Math, all throughout elementary I never really understood school or tried hard in math until one teacher made a difference in me. In sixth grade, my math teacher, Mr.Abida took the time to help me he thought me different techniques such as PEMDAS and easier methods to get to the solution. With repetitive practice I was able to enter the 8th grade with Algrebra 1 honors. In addition to this I took both Geometry and Alegra 2 online at the same time.I was able to gain highschool credit for 3 honors math courses within the first semester of my 8th grade year.
I knew, I would do all right in speech and writing courses. Math was never my strong point. However, I found out that I would have to take a remedial math course before enrolling in the math course for computer science. I also discovered that since I had not taken physics in high school. I would have to complete a college physics course before beginning the science courses. Most working students also find out as I did that they have very little time for homework, they have to reduce their courses loads.
The live production that I chose to attend was The Weird at The Herbert and Nicole Wertheim Performing arts center in FIU’s Modesto Maidique Campus. The Weird was a Tragic comedy, portraying a variety of sketches based on the struggle between love and fear. After The Weird finished my reaction to the play and quality were extremely positive, through the collaboration effort conducted by the playwright’s collaborative artists and craftspeople it helped me understand and enjoy the plays’ ongoing struggle of love and fear in life and in the future it’ll make me think of how my life and I are full of things that we love and things that make us
Doing so has changed my outlook on many of the things that have transpired in my life. I reflect on my time as an undergraduate, where I struggled to balance my heavy course load with the myriad of personal issues I was faced with. I kick myself for academic low points as they were not a reflection of my aptitude but rather uncontrollable circumstance and poor choices made because of where I was in my personal growth process. Consequently, my ambition and perseverance has allowed me to refocus on what I had been so interested in from such a young age and I began applying myself more diligently. Accordingly, after my undergraduate education I began taking challenging upper level science courses that serve a two-fold purpose: to address my undergraduate GPA deficit and allow me to stay abreast and maintain my understanding of human biological

When one pursues the dreams relentlessly, the dreams do become inevitable and accessible.
With the world evolving every day, where each new day witnesses a spate of new concepts and applications and each passing day makes them obsolete, I wish to garner the highest level of education and transcend new horizons. Management is the brain, heart and soul of any industry in the globalized world. Today, the boundaries between countries are swiftly vanishing away, so the understanding of Business Administration requires a more holistic and international view of the industry. I am eager to pursue MBA from Leeds Beckett University because International exposure is very essential for growth in this highly competitive and progressive world. And, through this I want to understand the nuances of analyzing and strategizing for sustainable and
Regrettably the above slogan perfectly suits the present condition of healthcare in my country. An endeavor to bring about a change is the prime motive for me in aspiring to be a Public Health Professional.
With my research, I learnt that the countries of UK, USA, Canada and Australia and most popular among Indian students. I started my research with UK. In UK I found some universities which offer this course. But, I was a little disappointed to know that master’s degrees in UK are of 1 year in duration. It is difficult to find jobs in India on the basis of a 1 year as Jobs in India needs the applicant to have a master’s degree that is of 2 years in duration. Hence, I dropped the plan for UK. In Canada, some universities are offering Graduate certificate courses in IT. But, I was looking for a proper 2 year master’s degree and did not want to do diploma courses.
