- This is a great video. I am an undergrad student in applied mathematics with a minor in physics, working toward an academic career in mathematical physics. I love to hear others speak of what sparked their passion. That one moment that others passed by, but not you. Something so significant and profound that it changes thought and lifestyle, yet these moments are still and quiet like. I think it is like seeing your reflection in the water. Most only see the surface reflection and think "that's what I look like"...but some of us see deeper. We think "how does the light reflect so detailed an image"? Then we fall in love, not with ourselves as did Narcissus upon seeing his reflection in the water, but with the light and our interaction with it. This is not what started me on my journey in mathematics, but it is one of the many experiences common to mathematical scientists and others in related fields. Thanks for the video.
