 So my goal tonight is for all of us to be together on this journey. We're talking math. We're talking football I'm not going to lie to you. It's really a lot of math And I guess the way I want to start this is to tell you a little bit about myself and To talk about You know the strange dichotomy the strange dichotomy between the world of mathematics and the world of football and these things that are seemingly disjoint and For many years I Lived in both these worlds and I went back and forth and I have to tell you you'd be surprised but The great feeling you feel on the football field after you fought your heart and heart out for 60 minutes Play after play drive after drive to get that victory that amazing feeling It's not that much different than the amazing feeling that I feel And I've been grinding on a math problem, and I'm not talking like you know the math problem you get For you know problem 17 out of your calculus textbook. I'm talking. I've been working on this math problem for maybe weeks Maybe months maybe a couple years And I've been trying as hard as I can to try to make progress. I've been fighting with this thing day in and day out to try To just learn something To try to face this problem that no one else in the world has ever solved And try to just lean a little glimpse of the unknown And try to fight against that in the moment When it becomes clear to you when you figure this thing out and you are the first person in the entire world to ever solve this problem and To be able to share this with others so that no one else ever has to struggle with this and they can You know more or less stand on your shoulders That moment is just as amazing if not more amazing Then that moment you feel at the end of a football game. You're just that
