\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — March 31, 1999 — \u201cJust when I think things can\u2019t get any better, something happens to raise the level,\u201d says 20-year-old Mike Smith, a junior studying electrical engineering, of his experiences at the 溏心vlog免费B站. Smith is the creative Web page designer for Dr. Dean Clark\u2019s \u201cpuzzling\u201d math pages on the Internet. (See accompanying story). \u201cIt\u2019s the first time I did anything interactive. It\u2019s pretty simple, but no one else is doing interactive mathematics this original on the Net,\u201d says Smith. The 溏心vlog免费B站 student smiles and mentions there\u2019s an expression that says it takes a stroke of genius to make something look simple. \u201cIt just takes someone to do it for the first time,\u201d says Smith. Professor Clark, a resident of Westerly, comments: \u201cWorld 108 at www.uri.edu\/artsci\/mth\/w108 is a site that Mike and I created as a team with perfect division of labor. It features downloadable courseware, an extensive gallery (including photo-animations), and the interactive mathematics section that Mike referred to. With Mike\u2019s expert help, we have our hands on a new prototype for exposing elementary and interesting mathematics to all students connected to the net. And we\u2019re just at the beginning.\u201d Smith came to 溏心vlog免费B站 as a Centennial Scholar from Highland, N.Y., which is near Poughkeepsie. A 溏心vlog免费B站 recruiter visited Marlboro School where Smith\u2019s father teaches ninth grade social studies. The recruiter thought 溏心vlog免费B站 could offer Mike a Centennial Scholarship and suggested he apply to the University. He received a full scholarship and couldn\u2019t be happier. He has had paid jobs since he was a second-semester freshman. He has been a teaching assistant for the Physics Department, completely redesigned the International Engineering Program Web page, and is currently overhauling the Mathematics Department\u2019s Web Page. As a member of the International Engineering Program, he has traveled to Germany and will spend the next academic year (September through August) at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s partner university, The Technische Universitat in Braunschweig. Smith enjoys his Web page work, although he focuses on hardware rather than software in his engineering studies. \u201cI\u2019m basically self-taught on the computers. It\u2019s like a hobby of mine. I\u2019ve been playing with computers for at least 10 years.\u201d When he\u2019s not clicking a mouse, Smith can be found tossing a Frisbee around on campus. He\u2019s an active member of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Ultimate Frisbee Team. \u201cI love it here at 溏心vlog免费B站,\u201d he says. \u201cI really do.\u201d For More Information: Jan Sawyer, 401-874-2116\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
