on math, death, and digressions

Not everyone can appreciate math, as high schools around the world have pressed everything math isn't into everybody's head. It's not about formulas and equations and solving for x. It's about discovering fundamental truths and learning about yourself along the way. It's about expanding your mind so it doesn't grow dull. And above all, it's the story of human ingenuity.

Please send me challenge problems, though I probably can't solve any worth sending!
