Sawyer Robertson
Samuel Watson Reaves Award
The Reaves Award is annually given to an outstanding senior math major.
The scholarship award honors the late Dr. Samuel Watson Reaves, who came to the University of Oklahoma in 1905 as head of the Mathematics Department, and served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1923 to 1940.
Sawyer is a graduating senior with interests in analysis and graph theory.
He has been active in undergraduate research on topics related to magnetic graphs since 2017, and has been a tutor in the Math Center, helping students in all levels of calculus since 2016.
He will be pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, starting Fall 2020.

"I studied mathematics in order to support my physics degree. I will be pursuing a PhD in theoretical physics and hope to eventually have a career in research.
"My favorite part about studying mathematics is that it brings a new perspective to what I learn in physics. Being a math major has taught me many valuable problem-solving skills and given me a greater appreciation for all types of mathematics, both formal and applied."
