I grew up in the water.

I raced through swimming pools. I crossed open lakes. I windsurfed through storms. I descended beneath the waves and met sharks in their world. Only to find a reflection of who I am and what I love.

The ocean taught me its language: mathematics. Fish swimming in schools and populations moving in patterns. Fluid dynamics to make sharks swim fast. The ocean holds deep secrets in mathematics, waiting for humanity to bring them into light.
