This interview seems to highlight the collective personality of Tom Zhang as he was constantly thinking throughout the interview. Math is definitely not a subject that everyone is focused or interested in but we still use it constantly like how it was mentioned in your other blog. Tom had taken an interest in twin prime conjecture when he was a child, and while this is the first time I have even heard of this, it is apparent that he had a love for math that reached out to learn new material.
Everyone does find something they love in math even if they don't realize it at the time and I believe that is the beauty of math as it represents the way your mind processes information and facts that it gets. We process a problem and eliminate uncertain and wrong answers as we center in on a correct answer. I personally love finding a fitting answer that just completes all of my questions and that is what I like about math even if it doesn't relate directly to the subject itself. Tom Zhang simply points out that if you love something and have an interest in it, you will find a way to love it and embrace it.
