Petition Letter
Petition Letter: I've been accepted into the Math in Moscow program. I'd like to go because of the variety of courses offered at the Independent University of Moscow that aren't offered here, which are of graduate-level difficulty that would better prepare me for further studies. These courses are also offered in the alleged Russian style of teaching with a heavy emphasis on student participation in class. I'm also interested in going as a cultural experience as I've never been to Europe, and as an opportunity to network with people very likely to continue onto doing research in mathematics at a professioanl level.
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I've reviewed my degree requirements with the undergraduate chair of my department (a statement of support should be sent in soon). My transcript lists 90 credits completed. I'm taking 15 credits this current fall semester and I'm confident that I'll be able to fulfill these requirements with the 15 credits I would get from Moscow that would complete the degree.
