Student recital: Jared Reiling, piano

Jared Reiling will perform a piano recital.

As a mathematics and piano performance major, Reiling credits his academic advisors for helping him discover how his two majors are connected.

“On the surface, they might seem vastly different, but underlying ideas are closely related to each other,” said Reiling, from Crystal Lake, Ill. “For the first five weeks of this term, the topics discussed in my Abstract Algebra class were the same in my Musicianship class! Seeing the overlap is fascinating and downright awesome.”
