Question 1
Johns Hopkins offers 50 majors across the schools of Arts & Sciences and Engineering. On this application, we ask you to identify one or two that you might like to pursue here. Why did you choose the way you did? If you are undecided, why didn't you choose? (If any past courses or academic experiences influenced your decision, you may include them in your essay.).
THIS ESSAY IS OVER BY 150 what should i cut can anyone help me? but also how is it content and grammer wise? how to make it better? THANKS!! will edit your essays just leave a link
"Throw away your rulers. You will not need them anymore!" exclaimed my teacher, "I will be teaching you the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a formula that will help you figure out the length of the sides of the right triangle without measuring it." Learning how the formula works. I substituted for the variables I knew and solved for the unknown, just the way I thought all mathematics is. Skeptical that this equation worked, I measure the side and got the same answer. Since it worked, I had no reason to question it further.
As I started to work through more problems in advanced mathematics, the mathematics pretty much stayed the same, solving for one answer. Out of my own curiosity, I started to question why the mathematics worked. For example, I wondered how the Pythageoroen Theorem worked for all right triangles. Therefore, I searched it on Google and found the proof for it. It was quite easy to understand, but I saw a brief mention to Fermat's Last Theorem, under the headline "One of the World's Hardest Problem."
I always like a good challenge, so I decided to explore what could be the hardest problem. I imagined Greek letters flying everywhere. Instead, I saw a simple equation similar to the Pythagorean Theorem, an+bn=cn with the words, no positive integers a,b,c can satisfy the equation of n>2. Even at my age, the theorem was quite simple to understand but proving why was the difficult part. Then, I stumbled on the Youtube video, "Fermat's Last Theorem," a documentary on Andrew Wiles who had proved it. The video talked about the abstract thinking needed. Wiles and other researchers used elliptical curves and other modules to the equation. This video was eye opening to what mathematics really was. Mathematics was manipulating equations, using shapes, but most of all, thinking outside the box to get the desired answer.
Mathematics interests me because it pushes the boundaries of the world. Mathematics helps connect everything shapes, numbers, and equations. Most importantly, mathematics encourages innovations. At Johns Hopkins, through the mathematic curriculum, I will be able to further my studies in the field, but also learn those cognitive skills to think outside the box and maybe even prove the ABC conjecture which is stumping the math world, obviously if Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki fail to do so and others as well.
