Interview with Chris Rodger

Chris Rodger shared insight about his career at Auburn during an interview that includes advice for future students.

"When you are listening to a mathematics talk, ask yourself questions like 'What related questions might be worth studying?' and 'Are any of the techniques used applicable to my research?' When you read research papers, do it actively by asking yourself 'How would I go about proving that result?' before you start, and throughout the proofs ask 'What would I do next?'
