...of subjects, though I hold some preference to teaching mathematics-related courses. What I do in my free-time is rarely consistent. These days, I've been trying my hand at writing a video game in Java. This is still in a very early developmental phase, but I hope to end up with an 8-bit rpg-platformer for Android.

...make poor decisions about the college admissions process, about resume building, what they do in their extracurricular time, in interviews, etc. These problems cannot be avoided by just being intelligent.

The story of what a scientist was trying to accomplish when creating a theory can make the difference between accurately comprehending a theory and therefore its limitations or only memorizing a formula for plug and chug strategies.
