MB: So I teach a lot of math majors here.

MB:What's interesting is that when people arrive at college for the first time, they think that math is all about computation; they think it's all about calculating. They think that you're just going to take four years of calculus, and you're just going to get better and better at calculating. But that's not what a math major is really about. The math major is really about finding logical explanations, being able to prove the patterns that you observed. That's I would say that's really at the heart of being a math major. So those two, yeah, so yeah. For me, personally, in my research career, there are about five or six questions that I'm thinking about right now. Patterns that I've observed in different areas of graph theory, and I'm trying to prove what I'm trying to prove, trying to explain what I've observed, but I don't yet have the explanations yet. I'm still trying to come up with explanations for these patterns I've seen, and it's frustrating, but it's also kind of fun. When you do find an explanation. It's the best feeling in the world.
