To ring in the new school year, I have frequently listened to perhaps the most unexciting artist on Spotify: White Noise Radiance.
As I wrap up the second year of the For Math’s Sake column, I want to get at some broad questions about mathematics I’ve been mulling over and share some thoughts that will hopefully lay the groundwork for more in-depth articles in the coming school year.
The title of this article is a question I usually get asked.

The Stevens motto, Per Aspera Ad Astra, or “Through Adversity, To the Stars,” is indeed a stellar choice of words to describe the experience at this tech school.
Some of my friends will ask me fairly often: “have you solved math yet?” If they ask me again in the coming days, I can confidently answer “YES!”
One of the goals for this column has been to catalog a series of mathematical concepts that have made a profound impact on all of STEM, not just the last letter of the acronym.
Ever since writing about the mathematics of love for Valentine’s Day last year, I have thought about writing an article that covers the mathematics of social connection in general.
In the last week of Fall 2023 classes, I attended a workshop-style conference titled “Mathematical Opportunities in Digital Twins,” abbreviated MATH-DT, and co-organized by my PhD advisor, Professor Kathrin Smetana.
Now that the holiday season is upon us, the spirit of gift-giving is in full swing. Meanwhile, we students are finishing up our Fall semester classes.
