Craig Chu is a graduate of CalTech with a Bachelor’s degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics.
Craig was a Math whiz in High School.
At CalTech, he found that Math required a little more work.
For one homework problem set, he remembers sitting down after dinner, with 2 or 3 peers in the library to work on it.
The peer groups were usually at about the same level of proficiency and understanding.
They worked on it into the wee hours of the morning. It was 3 or 4am before they finished the entire homework.
The funny thing was the problem set had only 4 questions!
The peer group had spent most of the night just talking.
Craig calls it an invigorating experience.
He was surprised how cool and collaborative CalTech students were.
