Horace, great job. When I was a boy everybody was ok at 1+1, and maybe 2+2, but at 4+4 things fell apart.

That's where multiplication comes in handy. I haven't gotten to that part yet, but word on the street is that it works well.

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

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

@Klaus I'm considering pursuing a Masters in math after I re-do the calc courses.
Cool! What part of mathematics do you want to specialize in?

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.
