Miscellany
Looking for students with strong math background interested in doing PhD. Citing Federico Ardila's four axioms: Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries. Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences. Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs. Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
