Self-taught

I have huge interest in coding and math. I read books about number theory and C++ essential since first year in high school. I enjoyed the feeling of dealing with numbers, and content I learned from C++ pointers. I also like to collecting information about games from forums, and do mathematical regressions with "stata" to see how people's view on certain topic.
