Mathematical thinking can reveal deep patterns in everything from secret codes to financial markets, sometimes creating revolutionary outcomes. By assembling a team of scientists and gathering vast troves of data, it is possible to find persistent anomalies and outperform expectations, as shown by decades of low-risk, high-return investing. Concepts from pure mathematics, once thought esoteric, now underpin advances in physics and even help explain the origins of life. Supporting math education and fundamental research can multiply these breakthroughs for future generations.
