When something is beautiful in math, everything is just perfectly lined up, and you see through sheer thought that something really beautiful can take place.
I feel like math and writing are the same thing. You're putting together a lot of complex things to satisfy different requirements. It's got to be aesthetically pleasing; it's got to have subtext; it's got to convey information.
I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.
