I have a secret. I'm very bad at math.

Yea, I liked to write code as a kid. Yea, I love to help fellow researchers do statistical analyses. But everything I've been able to achieve in math has been the result of brute force rather than true talent. In no other subject have I struggled so hard. In no other academic domain have I become so aware of my limits.

But that doesn't mean I hate math. I love math. I love to read about math. I love to hear about math. I find it fascinating. But math isn't...
