    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.

    If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

      @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?

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

        Education is extremely important.

          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.
