When talking to people that you want to find you interesting, keep it simple 
so you don't scare them off. I suggest this:

>   Uh? Oh, no, I'm just thinking.

>   What are you thinking about?
>
>   Math.

>   What??

>   (You won't be asked "what??" because everyone knows what math is.)

>   ...why?

>   Oh, it's this thing I'm working on. It uses fractals and stuff. It's 
> pretty cool.

If they're interested, they'll ask more questions. If they're not, they 
won't think you're crazy.
