Still, Holifield helped make math practical for her when she took Algebra II with him, she says. She had taken Algebra I, Algebra II and calculus with him.

And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. And, yes, it’s computational. These are all ways to formalize the world. And there’s something else.
