Their Stories

Math Tricks

“My professors taught me that there’s always a “crux” to a problem — one word or trick that makes a whole problem make sense. I try to think of what the “crux” is from the student perspective when I teach.”

Lindsay MacGarva ’11

The Math-Data Connection

“USF offers a variety of math classes and many have been useful in my work at Facebook – notably Linear Algebra. I’d advise anybody wanting to work in analytics to focus on linear algebra.”

Jake Bowen ’09

Pure Math

“Math has a long interesting history spanning thousands of years and we can ask how it has changed over time. Questions like this are what interest me and drove me to study to pure math.”
