computer sciencepersonal statement范文My three major interests and passions are Computer Science, Math and Music, and I believethat there is a creative fusion between all these disciplines. I engage wholeheartedly in theseareas both in my school courses and out of school, and hope that I will be able to continue to learn my chosen course and in the extra-curricular opportunities at university. Computer Science has quite naturally come to be my chosen field. At the age of 7, I took toplaying the piano, which planted the first seeds of my interest in defined logical patterns andstructure. My introduction to computing was via the logic of spreadsheets, but I then progressedto using BASIC for several applications outside lessons, including programming my own versionofLogo and an analogue clock. A major recent achievement of mine has been designing adatabase-driven website for my schools Math department, including multi-format homeworkquestion publication and report generation. This is extensively used by the department, andother departments have approached me to provide them with similar websites. This project was nominated and then short-listed for the final ten of the NewStatesmans “New Media(Educational)” award. I look forward to studying Artificial Intelligence, and have made my own minor foray into thisarea by designing and developing a computer-powered Connect 4 player using a complexminimax procedure. I also investigated recurring function execution to simulate the fillfunction of a paint package, an algorithm of which was used to develop a random mazegenerator. Such mathematical-based logic led to an increased appetite especially forresearching the use of computing with mathematics I extensively investigatedperfect numbers, determining the 8th perfect number(2305843008139952128). I involve myself in the full life of the school and am pleased to have ways of passing on myenthusiasms to others. I have been appointed a Math Prefect, which involves running a weeklyMath club, and also helping younger students in work recovery sessions. I was also electedonto the School Council for 4 years in my previous school. My passion for music has further developed in secondary school and led to eager participationin school musical productions for four years as the main pianist (which led to my employment asaccompanist for a professional opera singer and singing teacher). I have achieved grade 8 atpiano, and have thoroughly enjoyed performing regularly at a variety of venues such asweddings, retirement homes, at charity events, for the visually impaired, and most of all, theopportunity to conduct an orchestra at Fairfield Hall performing my own composition. I am looking forward to playing the 3rd Movement of Tchaikovskys 1st Piano Concerto with theschool orchestra this December, exhibiting my love for classical music, especially given that myfavorite works are those of Debussy and Tchaikovsky. I was delighted recently when I was given the opportunity to combine my musical pursuits andcomputer interests by my employment for a commercial software company writing music. I havemuch appreciated being able to develop my above interests alongside enjoyment of hobbiessuch as Table-tennis, chess, and reading of a broad spectrum of books.
