"Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there."
Marcus du Sautoy
Mathematics was never my stronger subject growing up. In fact it was the one I hated the most which is something I find humorous now since I find myself engrossed in it one way or another on a daily basis. It intrigues me to no end and I have days where I want to do nothing more than focus my thoughts and time on a specific mathematical subject. Lately I've been engrossed in the very basics of abstract mathematics using logic and proofs. Learning and applying it has helped open my eyes and mind to a whole new world that I never knew existed. It has a beauty and elegance to it unmatched by most other subjects.
