ABSTRACT:
Every time I mention that I’m a mathematician to someone new, the most popular response is ‘Oh I was TERRIBLE at maths!’ and a general vibe that I’m an extreme weirdo for not sharing in this feeling. Honestly, as mathematicians we are a bit different, but I am going to try and explain why we’re not that weird in this talk. To do this I will provide some stories of my own mathematical journey and why I ended up loving it.
