I hold a deeply profound notion that the ability of mathematics to explain and model so much that is in our universe as we know it, mathematics must indeed be of a truly devine nature. Is this romantic? Maybe from the point of view that true romance is somewhat mystical yet completely visible at the same time.
My passion for the art of mathematics comes out in my teaching on a regular basis. I am far too often disappointed by the lack of enthuiasim I recieve from students and colleagues alike when it comes to marveling at how mathematics can model and predict events in the world on a regular basis at such a far reaching extreme.
I marvel at both the inherent simplicity in mathematical functions as well as their extreme complexity at the same time.
Call me a fool but I truly feel mathematics does indeed comprise a romantic relationship with the world and it is both mystical and predictable.
