the mathematics students
crisp, grey mornings
the scratch of pencil on graph paper
working through complex problems just for the joy of it
baroque era piano music playing in the background
a love of patterns and puzzles
writing out your favorite proofs again and again
advanced math courses, sitting with the upperclassmen
the dusty green of an empty chalkboard
formulas scribbled on your hand in pen
going through a problem again and again until you understand it fully
carefully sketched graphs
short, bitten nails
ice cold water
hands marked with graphite
using math to take apart the world around you
doodling fractals on scratch paper
memorizing digits of pi just to show off to your friends
the moment of clarity when a problem fits together
hair clipped back out of your face
looking for fibonacci sequences in nature
watching a long and complicated equation simplify down to something short and compact
