The Man Who Taught Me to Think—One Equation at a Time

When I was seven, my dad showed me a different way to do fractions than what I was learning in school.

At first, I just thought it was cool. Then I realized—it wasn't about the math. He was teaching me how to think differently.

My dad, who studied agronomy and statistics, made complex ideas feel simple. Watching him, I learned that:

Problems have multiple solutions.
Logic and creativity work together.
Numbers shape how we see the world.

Because of him, I learned to love numbers.
Because of him, I learned to see patterns.

Because of him, I am.
