Description:
Mathematics and related subjects play important dual roles in our culture. On the one hand, mathematics is a study in its own right; on the other hand it is an indispensable tool for expressing and understanding ideas in the sciences, engineering, and an increasing number of other fields. Through mathematics, we model the world and abstract out the essential structure in each situation, allowing us to see similar patterns across different problems. The joy of discovering beautiful connections lies at the heart of mathematics.
