Bio 

Hello, 你好, and Bonjour! My name is Tao; I'm from New York City, and I'm a proud first-generation student. I'm currently interested in studying applied math and learning a new language (French, with the intent of studying abroad using my D-Plan!) at Dartmouth. I love being immersed at campus–especially aesthetic Woccoms, fookie grubs at FOCO, and Baker-Berry Tower Room study sessions. Come one, come all: let me take you along!

Taoheng's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallDartmouth College

      Favorite Class: Writing 5: Food for Thought

      As the name describes, this class taught me all about food! While the class is centered on teaching academic writing skills, I have definitely learned a lot about fun topics like food diversity, ethical farming, and culinary significances. For my final project, I got to write about how sauces relates to our society!

      Favorite Class: COSC 10 Problem Solving via Object-Oriented Programming

      This intermediate course focuses on algorithms and object-oriented programming in Java. As someone new to coding before Dartmouth, I found it intuitive—CS10 taught me to approach coding with a clear framework. I even got to train a program to detect parts of speech using a machine learning algorithm based on the Viterbi algorithm and Markov models.

      Favorite Class: MATH 22 Linear Algebra with Applications

      This was my first math course at Dartmouth! While challenging at times, I appreciated how accessible the professor was during office hours. I learned how linear algebra applies to the real world—from Google’s search algorithm to physics and JPEG image compression. At its core, the course is a study of data and information stored in spaces of varied dimensions.
