Mathematics at Princeton

<p>PtonAlumnus, first, thank you for post! Second, you are right, I really remain confused. I guess, if I tell you what I enjoy doing outside math, you might be able to help me more!
Here is a bit of information about me.</p>

<p>So, I really love number theory! (But, I feel like it would be more satisfying for me, if I could engage into something more applicable but rigorous at the same time). Also, I consider being exposed to good teaching and tutoring as very important (which is why I am strongly considering Princeton). Research is high in my list too. I have done some research in mathematics and I have enjoyed it very very much!</p>

<p>Outside mathematics, I am really into helping people, by tutoring in math or volunteering. I do enjoy it a lot and it makes me happy. I love physics and theatre (I am a horrible actor, but I really enjoy reading and watching plays). I have never studied computer science, but I really want to learn how to program in university. I prefer having a small group of friends, rather than being a member of larger companies, but I would argue that I am rather sociable. I enjoy playing ping pong if that matters at all and I would love to be able to spend some time alone during the day.</p>
