Quote of the Day | 0822
Where Simon is different from other middle-aged mathematicians is that he doesn’t mope over his lost youth. He doesn’t want to sit all day in a neon-lit office block working out the 13th Fourier coefficient of a modular function on a 26-dimensional hyperbolic hyperplane, thank you very much – he already knows how to do that much better than most of the department. He wants fun.
