1. MATHEMATICS EXPERIENCE AT OXY (put “None” if this is the case, include non-math courses such as Econ 102)
2. WHY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS CLASS? (Be specific and detailed)
3. AUTOMATHOGRAPHY. You should introduce your mathematical self in 3-5 coherent and well-written paragraphs. Be creative in your response; don’t just go down the list of statements or questions. Here are some prompts to help you get started. Tell about your past mathematical experiences, both structured (school) and unstructured (home, work, other). What was positive, what was negative? What feelings, emotions, comforts or anxieties associated with your experiences stand out and why? Who has helped shape your mathematical experiences and what impact did they have on you? How do you see mathematics in your future – as a parent, a teacher, a citizen, or in your career?
