Dear Geometers,

Mathematicians spend a lot of type thinking about how things are related. The diameter and circumference of a circle, for instance. Nature seems to be really interested in how things are related as well, because we see these patterns and relationships over and over. 

There’s just something about math. It seems to be almost the language that nature speaks. If not that, math is probably the best tool for understanding the universe. That might be a bold claim, but I think it’s true.

So next time you complain about the utility of learning math skills, just remember that you’re learning to speak nature’s language.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
