"As theater uses the language of dramatic action to describe the human experience, so does science use the language of mathematics to describe the natural world. Though inherently limited, both seek knowledge and understanding through a kind of storytelling, and endeavor to do so with symmetric curiosity, elegance, and grace. Accordingly, I endeavor to help students develop their voices within these languages, and I encourage them to consider it worthy of their time and energy to strive for the highest level of fluency of which they are capable."
