    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.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      @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.
