Abstract: Abstract Mathematics is akin to a foreign language to those who do not know it. It is not really possible to become fluent in a language unless you are long-immersed within it. When asked what I do or teach and I answer, “Mathematics,” the reaction is often a disinterested, “Oh.” That is a shame: mathematics can be beautiful. And of course it is useful.
