DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n	People often say 'math is a universal language'\, bu
 t that adage only superficially describes how mathematics unites human bei
 ngs. Math is more than just a way to describe the world\, and it is more t
 han just a set of skills\, like doing arithmetic or factoring a quadratic.
  Math is a deeply human enterprise that fulfills basic human longings\, su
 ch as for beauty and truth\, and studying mathematics builds virtues like 
 persistence\, creativity\, and a competence to solve problems you've never
  seen before. These virtues will serve you well no matter what you do in l
 ife. The deep connection between mathematics and human desires show why pe
 ople in every culture around the globe do mathematics\, not just to build 
 things and conduct commerce\, but for enjoyment and exploration. An incarc
 erated man---now my friend---has helped me see this more clearly than ever
  before.\n\nBiography \n	Francis Su is the Benediktsson-Karwa Professor of 
 Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College and a former president of the Mathemati
 cal Association of America. In 2013\, he received the Haimo Award\, a nati
 onwide teaching prize for college math faculty\, and in 2018 he won the Ha
 lmos-Ford writing award. His mathematics research in geometric combinatori
 cs includes many papers co-authored with undergraduate math students. His 
 work has been featured in Quanta Magazine\, Wired\, and the New York Times
 . His book Mathematics for Human Flourishing (2020)\, winner of the 2021 E
 uler Book Prize\, offers an inclusive vision of what math is\, who it's fo
 r\, and why anyone should learn it.\n\nHybrid mode and live stream on YouT
