No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more
than any art or science, is a young man's game," the British mathematician G
.H. Hardy wrote in A Mathematician's Apology. But the older guys are now
catching up.
Since Hardy wrote those lines in 1940, it has been conventional wisdom that
mathematical breakthroughs are most often made in a moment of brilliance by
a born genius at a young age, rather than an ... 阅读全帖 |

Rumors swept through the mathematics community that a great advance had been
made by a researcher no one seemed to know — someone whose talents had
been so overlooked after he earned his doctorate in 1992 that he had found
it difficult to get an academic job, working for several years as an
accountant and even in a Subway sandwich shop.
“Basically, no one knows him,” said Andrew Granville, a number theorist at
the Université de Montréal. “Now, suddenly, he has proved one of the

Lockhart's Lament
This month's column is devoted to an article called A Mathematician's Lament
, written by Paul Lockhart in 2002. Paul is a mathematics teacher at Saint
Ann's School in Brooklyn, New York. His article has been circulating through
parts of the mathematics and math ed communities ever since, but he never
published it. I came across it by accident a few months ago, and decided at
once I wanted to give it wider exposure. I contacted Paul, and he agreed to
