I'm a senior in college. I've learned about a host of mathematical concepts that are misunderstood by popular media (N dimensions, linear algebra, linear functions). Wanting to correct these topics, I wrote a blog post[1] about them. But this blog post blossomed into much more than I was expecting. I was expecting to cover only those specific details, but then I got into nonlinear problems that have no closed form solution and got into what mathematicians do. While I'm still learning and they're an experienced mathematician, I like to think I can understand what everyone else thinks and what mathematicians think.
