Here at mathnathan.com I record my experiences learning about mathematics and it’s applications in the world. My primary interest right now is computer vision, and augmented reality. I try to write in a manner suitable for all audiences, if you have any questions though please feel free to contact me.
NAME / AGE: Nathan Crock, 22 years old
STORY: I want to further the positive impact that technology has on the world, and eventually provide technology to bring mankind to space. A bad habit of mine is trying to discuss everything through math and science, so here I can rant and satisfy my intellectual curiosities without talking those close to me into a coma. However, my diverse interests and passion for learning also foster a desire to be a sort of modern day renaissance man. So enjoy everything else I post as well!
CURRENTLY: I am a senior at Florida State University fancying my studies in Computational Mathematics and Scientific Computing. I work in the computer vision lab as a research assistant where I also work on my honors thesis. I’m very passionate about applying the handsome powers of computer vision and machine learning to improving society and hopefully the world!
FUTURE: I’ll be attending Florida Sate University’s Department of Scientific Computing in the fall for graduate school. I’ll be working in the visualization lab where I’ll further my knowledge of computer vision and numerical analysis. I train hard everyday to be the best I can at what I do, so in the future I’ll be prepared to apply the diverse utility of numerical analysis to enhance space exploration and eventually to the construction of space colonies!
RESEARCH: You can learn more about my professional and academic career through my curriculum vitae.
Please give me some feedback and let me know what you think about my thoughts!
Great! I got introduced to this field a little late, and am thinking of doing my MS thesis in a particular sub-field of CV. Human tracking in video (surveillance) seems to be (a/c to me) a VERY worthwhile application of CV and here is where my research interest lies.
Machine Learning… I have to complete an online course in it. Stanford’s videos are awesome!
Glad to find other CV enthusiasts here!
Uni,
Thanks for the feedback! Ya CV is wonderful, I have similar interests. Right now I’m trying to develop some facial recognition applications to a home automation system my roommate and I are working on!
Keep me posted on your progress and interests.
