I finally reached the conclusion that mathematics was the study I was best fitted to follow, though I did not clearly see in what way I should turn the subject to account.

My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.

Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.

I wasn't actually very naturally good at economics. My brain doesn't work very well, in terms of mathematics.

I was a mathematics major and really into math.

If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.

When I was in school, I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.

I enjoyed mathematics from a very young age. At the beginning of college, I had this illusion, which was kind of silly in retrospect, that if I just understood math and physics and philosophy, I could figure out everything else from first principles.

If I had my choice, every high school would be teaching financial literacy along with math and science.

In school, my favorite subject was math. That's where I learned to count money.
