eigenvalues are just the TLDR for a matrix

It's grad school application season. This year I'd like to highlight one of the many difficult and most ignored barriers to pursuing an advanced degree: the financial cost of applying.

a 🧵 with my perspective and some suggestions for departments to alleviate this barrier

Lastly, it’s so beautiful to know there are Math educators that look like me. I NEVER had a black Math teacher or professor growing up. I had to be the change I wanted to see in the field. I do what I do so black girls can see themselves in me #MyBlackMathJourney #BlackInMathWeek

I may not have rights but at least my identity is being comodified by a multinational snackfood conglomerate for profit 💖

Also no financial help for relocation to grad school, necessitating savings or family wealth (travel, new lease, start up costs while not getting a paycheck for a month, etc), application fees, the GRE (a $200 test alone w/out buying study guides) etc. Academia screams privilege.

Check out my blog about adaptive therapy at blog.mathematical-oncology.org/pithy-maxims.h… Looking forward to working on the next generation of models and clever sayings about them.

Saying goodbye to Cassie Buhler Cassie Buhler for the summer, but planning to finish our modeling work on Adaptive Therapy this fall!

Cassie Buhler Fred Adler It was a halarious and insightful talk and I'd love to have seen him in the denim miniskirt he suggested we purchase!

tbh I’m a bit disappointed Fred Adler wasn’t sold on my suggestion to sport denim-on-denim for the #DENIMmodel in addition to his Kevlar. That aside, I’m thrilled to be here and learn more from people with a wide range of expertise!

Hi President Ruth V. Watkins! We were so excited when you stopped by the symposium!
