Glancing at the clouds and wondering how well counting the flower petals on the windowsill can help you run out the clock is a pretty common phenomenon for people who aren’t into numbers. But those connections you make aren’t just in your head. You might just be closer than you think to understanding the universe.

The Voice of Math takes a deep dive into understanding numbers through the lens of humanity. You’ll see the struggles humanity has taken to understand life and the hiccups in understanding. If you look closely, you’ll probably see yourself, too.
