>> I think my passion for mathematics really came out of taking math courses at Penn State
and really seeing what higher-level math is like.
The amount of rigor involved and the problem solving is something I really took to.
I think the Penn State experience is a complete one in which you're
around a wide range of different types of people.
You're around world class faculty who do many amazing things, and you get exposed
to so many opportunities that you wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise.
