While I’m not as into the subject as you, I do math for a living (running/programming a CNC that cuts furniture parts), and it’s always cool to see math equations punched into a computer become a physical item that people can use.

i think math is sooooo fascinating and cool and often fun but it's excruciatingly difficult for me to do math and understand the more complex mathematic ideas
