My name is Charlie Ruppe (rhymes with soup!)
I am an incoming Math PhD student at CU Boulder. I obtained my B.A in Mathematics from Carleton College.
My pronouns are he/him.
I subscribe to the following ( updated ) axioms by Federico Ardila, which first appeared here :
- Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
- Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
- Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
- Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
These statements should not sound revolutionary, and considering the current practices of the mathematical society, they are a pressing call to action. ‑ Prof. Ardila.
