I love math. In college, I graduated with somewhere around 24 hours of math credit. (Don’t get me wrong. Differential Equations is strictly the realm of masochists, but I did manage a B.) So it always intrigues me when I talk to people who genuinely hate math. How could you hate numbers. Of all the things in the universe, numbers are the most honest. 2 + 2 always equals 4. Well… unless your dealing with a number system with a base less than 5. Or… if you’re doing integer addition with non-integer values. Or… Oh, never mind. Here is WBQotW #74 (base ten).

If all good things must come to an end, then numbers are not our friend!
