Our Goal
Our goal is to explore the endless connections between math and the real world in a way that's accessible and engaging to a wide audience. To draw people in, we try to frame our posts as historical stories before diving into the modern applications.
The Team
Adam
Co-Founder
Hey, I'm Adam, a junior at Stuyvesant High School. I wanted to start the blog with Aidan because I like to explore the deep connections math has with everything around us. I've always found the fact that our universe is governed by mathematical relations really amazing, and I hope the blog will help to share some of these connections with others. In my free time I like to listen to music, chat with friends, and draw.

Hi, I'm Aidan, a junior at Stuyvesant. I was really interested in starting this blog with Adam because I've always been fascinated with learning about logic that's "hidden in plain sight." Outside of the blog, I like to hang out with my friends and I love to listen to every kind of music.
