Honestly, the article offers nothing of substance. It's a light piece designed to spread awareness about Cheng's upcoming book. http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html > "There’s only been one female winner of the Fields medal since it was first awarded in 1936 – Maryam Mirzakhani. Does maths suffer from an old boys’ club mentality?" > "I am happy to say I have not experienced that." You can clearly see the invisible hand of the Guardian trying to spin the narrative, hoping to score identity points out of the interview. Thankfully, she answers in a concise, drama-free manner. Still, the title they chose has nil to do with the piece.
