Week #2

Altgeld Hall

Sometime late in April 2014, I received my admission letter for University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). That was my most wonderful moment of 2014 and perhaps for the entire decade. Yes, it's a great deal to leave your family, friends and country behind, but it is a greater deal to be here at U of I. This is a vast land of knowledge and opportunities and I call it "My Mathland". 

Altgeld Hall, currently serving as Department of Mathematics at UIUC is one among the ancient buildings of UIUC and has an amazing architectural history (some of which even I am not aware of). Its bell tower and antiquity amazes me. This is my department and my favorite place at U of I.
