I’ve written a two-page long description of a street in my hometown. Here is the start: In summer, the street becomes a long, dusty trial of your patience.

Perhaps she thought she knew me, or [...]

If you understand Processing, the programming language that pretty much foremost amongst the art/coding subset, you usually have a pretty good grasp of mathematics.
