"Hi everyone! I am a senior in Kirkland House concentrating in mathematics. I've lived in Buffalo, NY all my life, so I'm quite comfortable with the climate of the Boston area. This is my second semester as a CA, and I look forward to being part of the Math 1b team!" |

Stu Mason (Email: smason@college)
"I am a sophomore engineering sciences concentrator in Pforzheimer house. I come from coastal southern Maine, and there's nothing I love more than summers back home. I can tell you a great story if you ask for one, but I've been known to stretch the truth to the breaking point. This is my second semester as a 1b CA, and I'm always happy to go over homework problems or tricky concepts." |

Alvin Siu (Email: alvinsiu@college)
"Hi! I'm Alvin, like the chipmunk! :D I'm an enthusiastic premed in Pforzheimer House concentrating in Chemical and Physical Biology, and I was apparently famous last year for very related things: not sleeping, and cooking Chinese food at 2 in the morning (in my defense, I only did so about four nights a week). If you ever want to talk about anything, math, computers, archery, video games, music, walnuts, whatever you want, just give me a buzz and we'll make it a party :]." |

Michaela Tracy (Email: michaelatracy@college)
"Hi Math 1b! I am a Sophomore in Lowell House Concentrating in Applied Mathematics and Teaching. My ultimate goal is to be a math teacher, so I definitely want to make sure every student is comfortable with the material and succeeds in 1b. Beyond math, I am completing a secondary field in music, and I sing in the Radcliffe Choral Society. If you ever want to talk Bach, Beethoven, or the Beatles (or math) email me or come to my problem session!" |
