A Farewell For Now
The end of the summer has arrived, which means that my research on minimal surfaces has come to a close. Honestly, I wish I had more time to continue my research because there is still so much to explore about minimal surfaces. I hope to continue studying minimal surfaces and other related concepts, such as manifolds, in my own time or perhaps I will have the chance to continue my studies in my future math classes. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in the NSF-EXPLORE Summer Research program as it not only introduced me to the research process in mathematics, but it also enriched my critical thinking skills as well as helped me develop other skills that will be beneficial as my career progresses. The program gave me an opportunity to give my first poster presentation, which can be stressful but at the same time, I know it will be rewarding in the end. I have always wondered what it was like to do research in math; this program showed me what research consists
