So you think you're "not a math person"? International Mathematical Olympiad coach Po-Shen Loh strongly disagrees.
Po-Shen Loh is a Hertz Foundation Fellow
and Carnegie Mellon mathematics professor who thinks that history is a
much harder subject than math. Do you agree? Well, your position on that
might change before and after this video. Loh illuminates the invisible
ladders within the world of math, and shows that it isn't about
memorizing formulas—it's about processing reason and logic. With the
support of the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation, Po-Shen Loh pursued a
PhD in combinatorics at the Pure Math Department at Princeton
University.

The Hertz Foundation mission is to provide unique
financial and fellowship support to the nation's most remarkable PhD
students in the hard sciences. Hertz Fellowships are among the most
prestigious in the world, and the foundation has invested over $200
million in Hertz Fellows since 1963 (present value) and supported over
1,100 brilliant and creative young scientists, who have gone on to
become Nobel laureates, high-ranking military personnel, astronauts,
inventors, Silicon Valley leaders, and tenured university professors.
