A worthy first post, lets hope we hear more from the calculus kid, maybe he/she could solve a DE using a Laplace transform in this thread to show the ultimate love for it?

I think that they just don't understand that math is a language that is used to understand nature. Why would someone not want to understand why they are and from whence they have come? Because they are scared, lazy, or misguided. So, the question then becomes
Isn't being aware of nature and my responsibilities to myself and humanity as a whole, so that we my advance as a society and one day achieve eutopia awesome?
The funny part is that everyone will say yes to this, but then will never lift a finger...
