A Year In Review
Another habit of a mathematician that is in a similar vain that I grew in is reflecting and synthesizing. This came through mostly in the POWs and writeups that we did. I again had trouble writing down my thinking into clear and concise sentences that someone with no knowledge could learn from. I found myself rambling on and on then reading it back just to realize that it makes no sense and that I can cut out half of it. This was a conscious effort for me all year when working on these assignments, I would write, read, rewrite and repeat for the entire paper. I have definitely gotten better throughout the year but I am far from perfect and will continue to improve as I continue to advance in math.
