Mathematics allows you to see the invisible.

In mathematics, it's not a game where the fastest wins. But rather, it's more like who can see farther, who can see deeper. That's the one who achieves more.

We should all have access to the mathematical knowledge and tools needed to protect us from arbitrary decisions made by the powerful few in an increasingly math-driven world. Where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom.
