Move to WORDPRESS!

I moved my blog from blogger here to wordpress, here. The reason is that I want to more organize with my self learning project, and wordpress seems have more features fitting for my needs.

I started my 2nd term of this year which currently I'm taking a few courses at Udacity,  Coursera,  and learning required mathematics(Linear algebra and discrete mathematics by taking MIT OCW lecture series and with a book respectively).
I plan to upload my problem sets every month for mathematics since this will keep myself motivated and it will give a proof of my study which I want to try out for graduate school in the future.

So far, I have learned a great deal of not only subject itself but also how to think critically and independently, how to see what the problem is and how to solve it with my own understanding, and most importantly to believe in myself.
Even though, some might think that it is stupid by not taking a course near university so that it will give me an "official" credit which can more reassuring, but I believe that learning is something more than just getting a credit that I can show and all.
It changes a view point of the world and discovering potential that one person can do. 

There is a better way and more fun way of learning with technology these days(Check out "University 2.0 - Sebastian Thrun.) I firmly believe in that, and this is my just small step to make a domino effect in the world to help other people enjoy learning and even more find a new potential and possibility in their lives.Certianly I'm doing it! ;)
