Re: Hooked!
Hi anonimnystefy;
How are you doing?
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.

Re: Hooked!
Hi;
I was lucky enough to be able to make mathematics my vocation. When you can fit your hobby into your life you are as happy as a human being is allowed to be.
Other things, I have done almost everything. What are you specifically interested in knowing?

Re: Hooked!
Not all that stuff. That is a reduced list of what I used to do.

Re: Hooked!
You are interested! Hahhhh! We shall see.
I played basketball, chess, was a professional bowler and a professional poker player and a body builder. I mowed lawns, worked in a meat packing plant, set stones, worked in a factory, was a supervisor for a large corporation, was a 21 dealer and a floorman, saw combat twice, was a writer for 3 computer journals, worked at a large installation that frequently makes the news here.
At 16 I went through a complete calculus text on my own in the summer. Learned 10 computer languages by myself. Had the highest IQ in my school. Everyone thought I was a genius especially when I was doing my teachers homework for them.
At 15-16 the problems started. I was now physically full grown and very very strong. Stronger than most men. Also I was vicious. Everyone who had picked on me when I was a young nerd was now in danger. I mean real danger. In addition to the self study I was playing basketball, pool, football and baseball. The more success I got, the more I believed in my own superiority.
My parents had scrimped and saved, we were very poor. Really poor, sometimes without the necessitiies. They struggled to send me to the best schools in the country. I just kept dropping out. Arguments with professors and just plain failing to show up.
So I quit listening to professors and taught myself everything. People tried to help me but I was too stubborn. I was given a job at Pfizer Oil as a starting chemist ( Chemistry was my first love ). I never went. I began to study biochemistry and medicine with the encouragement of a doctor who knew my family. Of course, I began to argue with him as well and withdrew.
At 24, I was a supervisor in the executive offices of the largest elevator company in the world. Soon I was in arguments here too and was terminated. Then I came to Vegas after seeing a documentary about card counting and Kenny Uston. That is what changed my life around...
