<p><strong>2). Why did you choose to study math? What was your math journey like(was it super easy? Super difficult? What made it being so hard worth the struggle?)</strong></p>
<p><strong>3). What career options are you looking at? Are you going to go for a PHD? Professor? Industry?</strong></p>
<p><strong>4). What do you think makes pure math and applied math different?</strong></p>
<p><strong>What do you think the most important course work is for each discipline?</strong></p>
<p><strong>5). Are you going to do the thesis? Or the Comps? How did you decide?</strong></p>
<p><strong>6). Do you have any research you are working on? If so what is it? If not, do you have any ideas for a thesis?</strong></p>
<p><strong>7). What is your favorite theorem?</strong></p>
