NY Times op-ed piece:
"Students have a better chance of succeeding in a subject perceived as playful and stimulating, rather than one with a disastrous P.R. image. Fortunately, today’s online world, with its advances in video and animation, offers several underused opportunities for the informal dissemination of mathematical ideas. Perhaps the most essential message to get across is that with math you can reach not just for the sky or the stars or the edges of the universe, but for timeless constellations of ideas that lie beyond."
