Math Adventures in Budapest!

Posted on by Sara Stoudt

Thinking about studying abroad? Sam Berry (Applied Mathematics major, ’27), Skyler Le (Mathematics major, ’27), and Dante Mancino (Mathematics major, ’27) spent last fall semester, and Celine Chang (Applied Mathematics major, ’27) spent last spring semester learning math in Budapest, Hungary. They had a blast; see for yourself…

They saw the sights, tasted the food, heard the music!
