Yeah and which class was that? Calc 1?
- cma 1y agoIt wasn't at Princeton, not a class he had to get access to. Says the class had 200 people in it--wow the big exclusive club he used dirty family connections to get into to cheat at winning the Fields Medal: a class with 200 people enrolled.
- monkeyelite 1y agoHis father is a Statistics professor and he was taking a graduate level math course (algebraic geometry) from a Field’s medalist. This is a course nobody but math majors would take: > In that sixth year, he enrolled in a class taught by the famed Japanese mathematician Heisuke Hironaka, who won the Fields Medal in 1970 > Ostensibly, the course was an introduction to algebraic geometry, the study of solutions to algebraic equations and their geometric properties You seem weirdly personally invested in this: > the big exclusive club he used dirty family connections I didn’t say anything like that - I’m just saying the article wants to suggest he just happened into math and that’s clearly not the case.
