    Calculus is how I think about physics, and specifically used in almost every way I physically interact with the world. When thinking about whether to accelerate to pass someone, be it walking or driving, that’s calculus.

    It’s the highest level of that math that comes intuitively to me, and I suspect that’s why I think in it. I suspect smarter people than me go through life intuitively thinking of everything in higher forms of math.
