Teaching:
- Purpose -- to engage students on the cutting
edge of curiosity and provide the
analytical tools to decode
and explain the universe, investigate new and difficult things, recognize mathematical beauty and
understand how patterns of symmetry and the asymptotics of large-scale behavior encode information
[with lines borrowed from Isaac Newton and friends]
- To those who do not know mathematics, it is difficult to get across a
real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature.
If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. [Richard Feynman]
