Meet Jamie, a second-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for applied mathematics. Growing up in a small town, Jamie was fascinated by how math could solve real-world problems, leading them to pursue engineering. Jamie often finds themselves debating with friends in the Math Faculty about the differences in mathematical applications between their disciplines, making for lively discussions that blend theory and practice. Balancing their engineering coursework with a love for puzzles and logic games, Jamie is always on the lookout for ways to bridge the gap between pure and applied mathematics in innovative ways.
