This is the reasoning behind my interest in mathematics.' With every new course I take, I learn more and more of how this connection takes place.' However, math is not an end, but a means to an end, as Greg explains: 'As the connection is rapidly being made between the biological sciences, macro and micro, chemistry and the physical sciences, it is becoming very apparent that this connection is facilitated by mathematics and that only through mathematics will this connection be realized to its fullest potential. Greg writes, 'Science is the gateway to the mysteries of our universe, and mathematics acts as the beacon to light its path. A motivational speaker with a powerful message, he has made speeches, written letters, held meetings, conducted surveys and appeared on countless television and radio programs to spread his message of hope and to bring awareness to the needs of children here in America and around the world.īut while Gregory's life has been, and will continue to be, devoted to these world-wide causes, he has another great passion: math.
