Mathematics is a wonderful, elegant, and exceedingly useful language. It has its own vocabulary and syntax, its own verbs, nouns, and modifiers, and its own dialects and patois. It is used brilliantly by some, poorly by others. Some of us fear to pursue its more esoteric uses, while a few of us wield it like a sword to attack and conquer income tax forms or masses of data that resist the less courageous.

—from Secrets of Mental Math: The Mathemagician's Guide to Lightning Calculation and Amazing Math Tricks, a book by Arthur Benjamin and Michael Shermer
