/============\ | Homework 0 | \============/ Name: Alan Christopher Login: cs61c E-mail: alanchristopher@berkeley.edu Mini-Biography: ============== --> Where did you grow up? What was your academic path? (e.g. Did you live in the same town all your life or did you move around; and if so, where? Did you go to community college or another school before this one?) I was born in Cleveland where I lived until age 7, at which point my family moved to Los Angeles. I'm a recent EECS graduate (option IV) with a second major in applied mathematics (probability theory cluster). --> How much programming have you done (and what languages)? I started dabbling with programming in Java towards the end of middle school, but I didn't start seriously programming it until senior year of high school. At this point I've been exposed to a number of different languages. Listed in no particular order: scheme, Java, C, python, C++, ruby, matlab, C#. I don't claim any exceptional familiarity with all these languages, but getting back up to speed with any of them would be relatively painless. --> What are your hobbies? I don't have time to do all of these with much regularity, but I enjoy biking, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, and like many other EECS majors, video games. --> What are some of your talents and skills? I can eat a lot in one sitting. Sometimes I'll cook up a pound of pasta and call it dinner. I also like to pretend that I'm reasonably proficient at this whole CS thing. --> Have you done anything remarkable? Has anything really memorable happened to you? (e.g. travel, meeting famous people, 15 min of fame, inventions, overcoming adversity, etc.) I have been both held back a grade, and skipped a grade. --> What commitments will be consuming your cycles this term? (e.g. classes, jobs, family, commutes, volunteering, sports, student groups, etc.) -Teaching cs61c (I have no life :P)
