My Interest In Computer Science

1186 Words5 Pages

My interest in computers started with video games when I was a little kid. I was interested in how a machine, made only of some metals was able to do so many amazing things such as displaying videos, running games, and other applications, and delivering an unlimited amount of information via the internet. Throughout high school, although I wondered how computers worked behind the scenes, I haven 't found many possibilities to explore these ways. My love towards mathematics throughout primary and high school and interest in computers made my choice of picking computer engineering as my major a very easy task. Later, in the university, I have found mathematics and theoretical computer science courses especially interesting to me. I have tried to grasp the concepts presented in these courses with great effort and enjoyed thinking about the world using them. Now that I am in my final year of study, and that I have gained experience about different areas of computer engineering and computer science through courses, projects, and …show more content…

Through my courses at Boğaziçi University and my exchange studies at KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, I have gained a good general understanding of topics that are compelling to me such as theoretical foundations of computation, machine learning, and numerical linear algebra. However, I wasn 't able to get an as detailed and deep comprehension as I would have liked. My main aim with a computer science master 's is to gain a much deeper and detailed grasp on these fields via research projects and work experience in addition to the coursework. After completing my master 's degree, I hope to possess an understanding that would enable me to apply these skills to real-world problems, and which would allow me to expand my knowledge by studying the latest research in the
