Julianna Connelly | |
Julianna Connelly, member of Olin College's first graduating class and mechanical engineering major, took as many math classes as possible during her time at Olin, including 303 and 306 with Prof. Chang. She is now at Teacher's College, Columbia University in New York, New York getting her M.A. (and hopefully Ph.D.) in Mathematics Education, with the goal of teaching math at the college level. She reminds all students of Professor Chang to turn their cellphones off during class and office hours :). | |
Aviva Halani | |
Jessica Lee is a senior at Wellesley College, studying math and economics. Well, studying math anyway (really? -- editor). She loves Chandler Bing and has an affinity for people with the name Aaron. The funniest moment of her junior year occured while she and her fellow 306-er, Alefiya Calcuttawala, were hanging out with two friends at MIT, when the first MIT-er asked "So are you guys taking real analysis?" and the second MIT-er immediately scoffed, "What... as opposed to .... 'fake' analysis?" Her favorite food is lychee boba at Shabu Shabu in the Boston Chinatown. Last week Jessica's arm was violated by a Wellesley professor whom she has openly described as "oogy". | |

Rebecca Tsang | |
Becca is a math major because she can be. Actually she didn't plan on majoring in math at all when she first came to Wellesley...but Stan the man changed her destiny. The math major is sort of the by-product of her taking Professor Chang's classes. In general, she revels in being the punky immature bad student of the class. In her spare time, she enjoys chocking on bobas, contemplating the existence of abstract algebra and chilling with her girl. She is very proud of her spiky hair and metallic accessories. Most recently Rebecca has been approached by the FBI in connection with the illicit use of numchuks on various professors in the Wellesley economics department. | |

Miranda Mei | |
Miranda is finishing up her degree at the UCLA Business School and will hopefully land a multimillion dollar job! Good luck Miranda, and don't forget us at Wellesley. | |
Catherine Silverstein | |
Ms. Silverstein has worked for the CIA from the age of sixteen, speaking 17 languages fluently and proficient in 12 types of martial arts. The Guinness Book of World Records lists her as having read the unexpurgated 1894 version of Anna Karenina in 24 minutes. Her most successful ventures have been the recovery of the Holy Grail, the overthrow of Fidel Castro and the resurrection of Kurt Cobain. Her most recent mission is to infiltrate the military ranks of attacking aliens from Quaoar, a mini-planet in the Kuiper belt. Ms. Silverstein enjoys quiet days in the mountains and tall glasses of lemonade. | |
Elizabeth Bellenot | |
Elizabeth Bellenot is revealed to be the true author of Shakespeare's complete works, having ghostwritten for the Avon native out of sheer modesty and a disinclination for public attention. Following this announcement, Ms. Bellenot has publicized her irritation that her reading audience has not been able to determine the true assassin of King Duncan in her tragic masterpiece MacBeth. Immediately after the interview, she went into seclusion, muttering as she went, "Wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful." She is the result of a little-known illicit union between James Earl Jones and Ellen DeGeneres. | |
Alefiya Calcuttawala | |
A mild mannered mathematics student from New Hampshire, Ms. Calcuttawala went postal on the evening of December 11, 2004, when forced to babysit two unruly children on her 22nd birthday. The youngsters were found by local police bound by PVC tubing to the roof antenna, while the words "BABYSIT YOURSELF" were scrawled on the walls of every room. Ms. Calcuttawala is still at large. Rumor has it that she has begun an underground movement to liberate all babysitters from their thrall. There is a 3 million dollar reward for any evidence leading to her arrest. | |
Xinxin Du | |
Xinxin Du learned multivariable calculus at the age of two, when she also published a philosophical treatise on the nature of physical matter. At the age of four, she disproved the cosmological framework established by Stephen Hawking. In their public debate, she popularized the phrase, "You're a dumb-butt and you know it." Internationally known for her unorthodox treatment of Bach's Cello Suites, she has also included Yo-Yo Ma, Kathleen Battle and Leonard Bernstein on her list of dumb-butts. | |

After graduating from Wellesley College, Tarja Rechsteiner joined the motorcycle gang known as Hells Angels and has not been seen since. |
Bo Ananchotikul | |
I was born and raised in southern Thailand in a city called Phuket, which is itself a large and beautiful island known as the Pearl of Andaman. My parents owned a cloth shop in downtown Phuket where boutiques as well as school uniforms were sold. I came to the United States in 1997 under a scholarship from the central bank of Thailand, with an agreement that I study Economics and return to work for them after I graduate. I ended up double majored in Economics and Mathematics at Wellesley College. I am currently doing graduate work in Economics at UC Berkeley. One secret about me is that tangerines are my enemies. They are so ugly and stinky, especially after they are peeled. I always get very anxious around someone who is eating tangerines because I'm afraid that she will touch me with her orange-smelled hand and ruin my day! | |
Charlotte Henderson | |
Originally born in England, Charlotte grew up in Massachusetts with her two brothers and two sisters. She graduated from Hopkinton High School before coming to Wellesley College. While at Wellesley, she played for the rugby team and sang with the Glee Club. On the academic side of things, Charlotte often got blank stares when she stated her major: a double major in mathematics and English. Working towards honors by exam she took 306 in SCI 362, where Charlotte spent a lot of her time as a Math Help Room tutor and a regular attendee of Math Teas. The only member of her Galois class not to go to graduate school, Charlotte is now Editorial Assistant for A K Peters, Ltd., a publisher of primarily mathematics and computer science books located in Wellesley. No double major is too obscure! | |
Hester Graves | |
I graduated from Wellesley College in 2002. I am currently a second year math graduate student at the University of Michigan. My interest is in enumerative combinatorics. My favorite aspect of math is noticing patterns, and then trying to prove they have meaning. If I had more self-discipline, my hobby would be the Argentine tango. My favorite piece of math in the real world is the Alhambra; it has examples of all seventeen crystallographic groups of the plane on its walls. I used to grade for Stanley and tried to find a real life Delicious DeLite to come to class, but failed miserably. I guess that is why I do math instead of being a detective. | |
