March Reflections

A few weeks ago, in English class, I was given the opportunity to write and deliver a Ted Talk about a topic of interest to me. Since my speech posits that math is a language, I thought that it would be interesting to experiment with a podcast-style post this month by sharing a recording of my Ted Talk. I hope you enjoy it!
