“Life is messy. Numbers are neat. Or so I’ve liked to think. Math has been a comfort zone in times of confusion, a way to pick out signals in the noise, see patterns in chaos. At the least, it could provide a sense of boundaries, scaffolding, a handhold. With a little help from math, we can begin to grasp even concepts we’ll never really grok.”
