...beret. Yet, he’s been quietly redefining artistic expression for more than a decade. “I’m a computer scientist and a mathematician. That’s my palette,” he says. He possesses degrees in computer science and math from Brown University to back up that claim.For a long time, he used this palette to write CGI programs for George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic special-effects team, allowing them to add color and texture to the models they made (a brontosaurus would look pretty fake without its scales...
Dean of Freshmen Thomas A. Dingman ’67 explains that if an undergraduate came to Harvard with a stellar math record but failed an introductory college math course, it would raise the question of “should we look with even greater care at the transcript from this school and what it means.” But he adds that the feedback is “not a blunt instrument” and that one case alone might not change admissions’ views, and that “only in a small set of instances?...

One of the production team’s mistakes might have been pirating off of filmmakers who are still making films, so its effort fails to stand out among other recent releases. McGuigan and Smilovic might have benefited from copying Tarantino one step further by looking for inspiration from a couple of decades before their own time...
Last spring, the admissions office enlisted more than two dozen female math and science concentrators to call all accepted female students who expressed a strong interest in science on their applications—an effort intended to “make sure we cover every possible base,” Fitzsimmons said at the time...
...Friday morning Rice and Straw arrived at a South Asian-?migr? dominated math-tech magnet school, only to be greeted by about 200 anti-war demonstrators, including some 50 students who ?skived? - played hookey - to join the protest.
