I'm going to send a link to your blog to my daughter. She will be graduating from college with a degree in math this May. She's deciding on graduate programs right now and is planning on a PhD in Math. I'm afraid I got through school, but Math is a foreign language to me. I never understand my kids once they start talking math, physics, chemistry, etc. I just don't know where they get it from.

Happy TT!
