There were only 3 Mathematics and 4 Physics graduates in PUC-Rio in 1998, and one of the Mathematics graduates didn't want to be in the graduation ceremony, so we ended up being a group of only 6 people. Nevertheless, our graduation ceremony was very fun (and personal, as it was to be expected). Professors Ricardo de Sá Earp, Paulo Henrique Vianna de Barros and Lorenzo Díaz gave speeches (Lorenzo was not there, but his wife, Miriam, read his speech). The photograph titled "the graduates" displays, from left to right: Ana Luiza Cardoso Pereira, Letícia Leal Lemgruber, Ivan Chvidchenco, me, Laila Souza de Mattos and Carolina Bhering de Araújo.
