Abstract:

When I was studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, I struggled with all the homework and lab work not with the technical challenge but with the amount of time required to actually do the labor-intensive table look-ups for each trigonometric function used. And, it was taking away from my practice time on the soccer field. Penns freshman soccer team was one of the best in the country, requiring extensive practice to stay on the team. So what did I do I switched to the Wharton School of Business, which had a less time-consuming curriculum.
