    If terms like Kalman filtering, normalized difference vegetation index and recursive algorithms sound like a foreign language to you, then you’re probably not watching math videos for fun.
    Kamal Albousafi, a senior math major from Sioux Falls, does. “I love math,” said the outgoing Albousafi, who does admit to being a bit nerdy when it comes to math. “The deductive power to use information and data to gain insight and understanding drew me to math and statistics,” he said.
