Am I the right person to do this for you? You want to ask someone who knows you well on a personal level, someone who can tell detailed stories about how great you are. Just because you liked my class, doesn't necessarily mean I know who you are and can speak to your strengths in detail. If you were a student in my class (especially if you were in a class with more than 50 students) and you didn't come to office hours or participate much in class, then I might not be the best choice for a recommender. *

Why do you think you are good candidate for this program and what should I emphasize in my letter? The more detailed you are the better your letter will be! Brag about yourself here. *
Your answer
What did you get out of my class? How did you grow and change, as a mathematician or as a student? It's great if I can talk about how much you learned or improved in the letter.
