{\bf LAB 0-`All' about you}
\end{center}

Write a one page biography of yourself.  Include logistic information (where you're from, why you chose Whitman, why you're interested in math, etc.).  Include the following as well.

\begin{itemize}
\item Your favorite result from the mathematics that you've seen in your career thus far. (Be sure and use the appropriate mathematical commands)
\item Three things about you (using the {\em itemize} enviroment).
\item A picture or appropriate graphic (using the {\em figure} environment).  

\end{itemize}

You can find the files `BalofBio.tex' and `BalofBio.pdf' for what yours should look like.  Note that if you try and format the .tex file, TexMaker will balk at not having the appropriate .jpg file.  Make sure that your graphic and bio file are in the same location when you format the document.  

Your bio is due Monday, January 25, at 5PM.
