“Mathematics is a process of staring hard enough with enough perseverance at the fog of muddle and confusion to eventually break through to improved clarity.”
Axioms
I assume Federico Ardila‘s four axioms:
Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in 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.
Theses and Internships
Several thesis projects (at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. level) are available on a broad range of topics (see Research or Interdisciplinary Collaborations).
