During a *very* brief email exchange, a professor of my university (*mathematician*) said that he is available to take on a masters student at the moment and gave me an appointment during his office hours. Roughly in the same spirit as the question *http://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/16721/how-much-detail-to-include-in-first-email-to-potential-phd-supervisor*, I'd like to ask > What kind of "support material" should I bring to this "interview" to make sure the professor collects a sufficient (and sufficiently well-organized) amount of information? I mean, in addition to the basics which are - a copy of my CV; - a copy of my trascript; - a concise summary of my mathematical background that is relevant to the (possible) thesis topic with precise references to courses, workshops, conferences, summer schools, and the books or papers I've read.
