I am a math minor and I've created a cluster that has been mentioned in
Science. My majors were Chemistry and Computer Science. (Undergrad
research with theoretical chemistry)

I've written programs with MPI and actually made a 63 CPU linux cluster.

I tutored C++ for the Computer Science department at USU. Even though I
know perl, I prefer using C++ and python. That is what I used at Lawrence
Berkeley National Labs.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
