A teacher at a public school in Florida built the team. I was really lucky to have a high school math teacher that made calculus interesting enough for me to want to learn it. I'm not sure I would have made it through the Comp Sci program at college without it, as we were required to take an advanced math class every semester, and having an understanding of calculus was critical to both getting through those math classes, as well as the physics classes that were also required for the degree.
