I've studied computer science at both Kirkwood and UNI and have taught myself many programing languages. I enjoy playing both video and board games with my friends. I love watching TV and Youtube. I also enjoy Ice skating and swimming though I don't get to do those very often.
I love Mathnasium because it builds understanding and fluency instead of memorization.
Favorite number: Three, I picked it a while ago and don't remember why
Favorite Math Joke: Have you heard the one about 288, I'd tell you, but it's two gross.
Fun facts about Sam: I love building and taking apart computers and their components

I'm a recent graduate from Mount Mercy University with a Degree in Mathematics. My time at Mount Mercy included research on the relationship between math and music.
One thing I like about Mathnasium is the wide range of Mathematical content that is taught
Favorite Number: 2 because no matter if you add it or multiply it to any number it gets big kind of fast.
Favorite Math Joke: When you keep missing math class it starts to really add up.
