I highly recommend studying math at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥! The faculty are excellent teachers who truly care about the success of their students. The program gives students a solid background in mathematics, and there are a wide range of interesting upper year courses to choose from. For example, in my last year at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, I had the opportunity to take Prof. Smith's Computational Commutative Algebra course. I really enjoyed it, and now work in the area!
"I have very fond memories of my time at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, and, even twelve years later, I am still friends with some of my ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Math classmates.."

In many math classes at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, students are encouraged to discuss ideas and work together. There are also events, from Math Club to Pi Day, which bring together students and faculty, and help foster a welcoming and friendly environment. I have very fond memories of my time at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, and, even twelve years later, I am still friends with some of my ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ math classmates.
¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ math set me up to succeed in graduate school. I was ready to take demanding Ph.D. courses because of my background from ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, and the breadth in my education helped me to choose a research direction in a timely manner. Many of my peers had the same experience, and I know of at least five other ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ math grads (from 2006, 2007, or 2008) who are now tenure track faculty members at universities in North America!
