Very good! I wish him good luck.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi anna_gg;
Your welcome. Just do not let him turn into one of those math types that start every proof with the words, "let g be a group" or "let G be a metric." 441 pages later they finish off with "which is what we set out to prove!"

Hi anna_gg;
I was just being cynical or ugly or cynically ugly. I suppose that even those people have a place in the world.
