Both the
work and civic environment have exceeded my expectations. As a mathematician,
it’s exciting to work on projects that have the potential to help out a whole
community of people and not just focus on solving abstract equations in a white
walled room. It’s extremely helpful and interesting to work with others from
different disciplines to get insight on other aspects of the problem I might
never have considered. It’s also really inspiring to see the whole community
support this project especially since everyone is interested in the research
that could potentially help the community.
I come from a midsized city, but
adjusting to this town has been really easy since everyone has given us such a
welcoming reception. The town and surrounding area is very beautiful and I’m
excited for the chance to get outside and explore the trails, which I don’t
really get a chance to do in my hometown. My mentor and peer collaborator have
also been friendly while also pushing me to be a better mathematician and I
can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer holds!
