Every mathematical path has a beginning.

Use this space for the class, teacher, book, puzzle, or moment that changed the way you saw mathematics.

The milestone

Where my curiosity began

This milestone can introduce the person, puzzle, lesson, or surprising idea that first made mathematics feel like more than a school subject.

Describe the experience that first caught your attention and what felt different about it.

Share the puzzle or idea you kept thinking about after the lesson, book, or conversation had ended.

Explain how that early experience still shapes the kinds of questions you enjoy asking today.
