Misc.
Favorite Part of Mathematics
- Differential Equations is the most interesting part of mathematics for me because each problem is like solving a puzzle to try and get back to the original function.
Favorite Part of Biology
- Human Anatomy and Physiology is my favorite field of Biology. I find that learning about how the body and all of the systems in the body work to be the most interesting part of Biology.
