Letters of recommendation

I follow Ravi Vakil's rules on letters of recommendation

Math Alliance

I am a Math Alliance mentor committed to mentoring and encouraging undergraduate students who come from ethnic groups, families and/or regions that have had little prior experience with doctoral study in the mathematical sciences.
