First math class at Swarthmore: Math 25
What was your favorite math class and why? Real Analysis, it was the first upper level math class I took and I really like Prof. Whitehead.
Why did you become a math major? I liked math and I was pretty good at it.
How do you expect to use your mathematics after leaving Swarthmore? I would like to pursue a graduate degree in Applied Math.
What advice do you have for an incoming student? Don't stress if you don't understand something, the more you practice the better you'll understand it.
