      I love that maths can explain the world around us. I think that’s really cool. Here’s a video from a friend of mine who’s written some maths to work out how the lung allows us to breath air : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8mgI3c5yKg
      He uses things called differential equations to solve it. I like differential equations. They explain how things change over time so we use them a lot in maths
