      The new Romanian president scored a perfect score on the IMO in the 80s

      Twice.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Guy might be smarter than Biden and Trump. I mean, it’s possible.

          @Horace in what context do you take those classes? Are you working on a degree?

            @Klaus I'm considering pursuing a Masters in math after I re-do the calc courses.

            Education is extremely important.

              My Carnegie Hall concert buddy got a master is math (or as he says maths} just for the hell of it.

                Apparently only 25 people have ever gold medaled twice in the IMO.

                  Cool! What part of mathematics do you want to specialize in?

                    @Klaus I don't know. Applied Mathematics maybe.

                      Is this just for fun or do you want to make a living with it?

                      If it's just for fun, I'd specialize in some absurd, highly theoretical branch of mathematics with no applications in the next 300 years, such as higher-dimensional category theory or homotopy type theory or algebraic topology.

                      If you want to make a living: Probability/statistics and then make $$$ in the AI industry.

                        You could diversify and become the next Tom Lehrer

                          I am sort of curious whether there's such a thing as a job market for someone in their mid 50s with a fresh degree in the next big thing in tech. Curious enough to actually find out.
