Be inspired


"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture."

- Bertrand Russel (1872-1970)

I remember when I was in college and I was struggling with an advanced mathmatics class, one of my classmates, in an effort to put it all into perspective, said to me:

"Biology is chemistry. Chemistry is physics. Physics is math."

I thought to myself, GREAT, that means biology is going to be really fucking hard!
