Hello Wiki-reader:

My Name is Mike Heiden and I first became a user of Wikiversity at 6:38 pm PST on 27-SEP-2007.

Why?

After learning about the Web 2.0 and 3.0 movement of the technical community and how open source code, knowledge, and collaboration is shaping our world, I decided to join and benefit. I thought along the lines of you can either be clued in and benefit from the good people in the world who want to foster learning and collaboration to advance society and be an auditing source for the group who have historically controlled knowlege.... or you can remain blissfully ignorant on the sidelines.

My first goal is foster a greater confidence and appreciation of Mathematics. I believe we need to face all our fears and get over our regrets. The way I put the bare minimum into my Math courses in High School and College has really generated feelings of regret as I know how important a skill it is. As I'm also contemplating graduate school and other forms of advanced education, this journey into Wikiversity is something I see as carying the potential of assisting me in entrance exam preparation.

Contact me at mike.heiden@gmail.com if you're curious about how I'm progressing.
