If not, you’ll develop a strong relationship with Thomas Batchelder, staff assistant and coordinator of undergraduate studies, or in other words, the man who answers all questions.

Choosing to study math is not unlike joining the CIA. You will be completely unable to discuss your work with any outsiders, even your closest friends and family.

Sosnik, Dowd, and Fournier convincingly argue, through several case studies of contemporary leaders, that “Gut-Values” and authentic interpersonal connections dominate the decision-making process of most Americans, rather than particular issues or economic concerns.
