calmHe also told us stories of redemption. In 1992 or so, Andrew Wiles provided a HUGE proof for a great mathmaticians famous last theorem. He forgot a few things. Which left a few holes that were readily poked by fellow math nuts at some sort of theorem-proving hootennany. He was thoroughly embarrassed, yet looked through every single line, came back the next year and BAM! A theorem was proved.
We also talked about fun things like Venn Diagrams and how they are applied outside of math. He's given me hope.
Math and I are becoming friends. Slowly...Sweetly...
