Back when they taught me the number line and the Cartesian plane, it all seemed smooth and straightforward.
In the years since, I've seen primes, rationals, irrationals, Mandelbrot, and all manner of weird structures popping up out of what seemed like nothing.
How did this happen? And who put all that stuff in there?
