Math has long been one of Nik’s favorite subjects.  Fascinated by mathematical puzzles since a young child, math of course has figured in his computer programming as well as game play and design.  When we get together, we might relax with a viewing of TV programs such as the BBC’s “Story of Maths” series.  And a recent gift he presented me was Mario Livio’s The Golden Ratio.

Yesterday, Quartz published a piece on how basic math is the thing that gives Elon Musk and his companies a competitive edge and leads to his extraordinatory innovation and breakthroughs with SpaceX, Tesla and more.
