Hi Sean,

these projects do not really require a whole lot of math skills; some programming experience
is much more important.  Why don't you try one of our Junior projects and see if you can get
that done?

Best,
Oliver

Recently, I have discovered that I enjoy mathematics and computer programming. I find it fun to write C++ codes to solve matrix rotations, transcendental equations and differential equations. However, I'm not sure if my math and programming skills are good enough to make a proposal to your organization. I have coded everything up to classes and templates. As for mathematics, I have dealt with ordinary differential equations and am interested in numerical methods to solve both ordinary and partial differential equations.
