"Because we live in a universe that is orderly and mathematical, and if you don't understand it that way, then either you're going to be victimized by it or you're going to fail to manipulate it effectively. The reason math is so deeply important as an education is because the world at large doesn't naturally announce its mathematical properties. You have to really go looking for them."

Tips for parents:

• Encourage passion, no matter what form it takes!
