Teaching

Mathematics is not about numbers or computation. The goal of studying mathematics is to gain the ability to think abstractly: to detect trends and deduce an underlying theme. Once obtained, this illusive skill can be applied in any context with powerful results. Mathematicians are trained to slice away superfluous information and quickly pierce straight to the heart of the matter. This goes way beyond formulas and theorems. The skills acquired in a mathematical education equip one with the ability to take knowledge acquired in one setting and apply it in another.

A note on Impostor Syndrome (Hochstapler-Syndrom)

It is not uncommon in academia to feel as though one does not belong. Many feel like an impostor, unworthy of the praise/ accolades they receive, and feel afraid that they will inevitably be discovered as a fraud who is actually not nearly as talented or skillful as their peers. This feeling is called Impostor Syndrome (or Hochstapler-Syndrom), and the first step in overcoming it is realizing that you are not alone.
