We mathematicians have such weird language...
@freemo brings back bad memories of college calculus- 8am lectures, professors whose accents I couldn't understand, and these symbols that I have stopped using since ;)
@Gongzero Engineering isnt math. Its estimation :)
@freemo corrected thanks haha-well - plans still need to match quantity estimates ;) hence simple math
Saw a documentary a few months ago on PBS on an unknown professor solving the Twin Prime Conjecture- fascinating!
@Gongzero Yea its always amazing when a non-math guy solves something that has been stumping math guys for a while.
@freemo well due to circumstances he was not known but had the academic rigors and had a teaching position- just at a lower ranked university. Epilogue- he was finally poached to teach/research at UC Santa Barbara
@Gongzero Lots of brilliant people never get recognized sadly.
@freemo thank goodness I don't do hard core math, just math with lots of margins of error known as engineering :D
