I have B.sc in mathematics and M.sc in statistics. I finished to study in university in this year and I will got the degree doctor of philosophy(formally there is a celebration of that event in 30.6 when tel-aviv university is going to give this degree to 128 women and 105 men). computer programs helped me to write part of my papers. Formally I learned in the faculty of engineering but practically it is mathematics and I investigated combinatorial problems and the only reason that I am in the faculty of engineering is that professor simon litsyn is from that faculty and he helped me. The subject of my thesis was covering code and it deals with combinatoric problems like what is the minimal number of guesses that you need to be sure of getting the second prize in the football pool.
