Alberto Giacometti

It's amazing how many people even today use a computer to do something you can do with a pencil and paper in less time.
Richard P. Feynman
Image
I must admit that outside the university, it is difficult to be a pure mathematician. No one in my family understands what I do. My neighbors wonder why I spend all my time in my study scribbling with pencil on a yellow pad of paper instead of going outside to mow the lawn.
