I always had an aptitude for math but didn\u2019t really apply myself until I started taking courses at UFV.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s next for Tanner? His plan is to continue on and get his masters and PhD in pure mathematics and finally work as a professor doing research and teaching.
