    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.

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

            Twice.

            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.
