...subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I...

Teaching is prime example of this practice, proving that, along with a little help,...

...fascinating that nearly every physical aspect of the universe can be described uniformly by a single symbolic language. Math is very abstract, however, and I understand that despite societal pressure to understand it for its applications, many students struggle with it or fail to understand why it's important.
