My personal persective:
I am a mathematical science undergrad, but I do not double major in CS. I have a strong foundation in Math and algorithms but have yet to take upper-division CS courses like AI, computer organization, and compiler design. I have taken CS courses like Algorithm and Data Structure and Computer Science Foundation. Therefore, the essay will emphasize how my math skills assist my CS career to succeed.
