Automathography:
Automathography is a neologism composed of the word
autobiography and math, and it is basically a a biography of
your mathematical self, written by you. Tell me about the
courses you have taken, what your favorites were, what you
find hardest. Explain what your mathematical interests are,
and what you plan to do after graduation. Reveal why you
signed up for this course and what you expect to get out of
it. If your aims for taking this course are different from
the stated goals in the syllabus, please let me know. If you
have any anxieties about this course, or any special
problems or needs, let me know. You are encouraged to be
creative in your response; don't be pedantic and just answer
the questions asked above; include whatever you wish. |
