Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
Hi;
Yes, I have read that.
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.
